Gallaudet University's Office of Research Support and International Affairs and the National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE) will hold the "Go Global Fair" to promote the wide breadth of international exchange opportunities to more students who are Deaf.
From October 5 to October 8, we will be at the Renaissance Denver Stapleton Hotel at 3801 Quebec Street, Denver, CO connecting with young adults with disabilities and the professionals who seek them out at the grassroots level, to share about the many opportunities to study or volunteer abroad with entities like Peace Corps, Fulbright, Boren and beyond.
We will also be hosting a workshop on how to volunteer or study abroad in collaboration with staff from The University Of Colorado Boulder on Sunday, October 7 from 3:30 PM to 5 PM.

The purpose of the National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exhange's national advisory team, the Roundtable Consortium, is to bring together prominent international exchange and disability organizations. Together, their goal is to pave the way for people with disabilities to take full advantage of the cultural, volunteer, professional, and educational opportunities overseas, innovating solutions for increased access and inclusion.
The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE), PACER Center and Accessible College presented a webinar to parents to address the benefits and common concerns regarding their children with disabilities participating in studying or volunteering abroad.
Many of the services provided by these organizations are available to every person with a disability, regardless of citizenship. Community-based and state-based disability organizations are especially helpful to international visitors who will not have access to disability services through a U.S. university or college.
The organizations below are members of MIUSA's Excellence in Development and Disability Inclusion (EDDI) initiative, committed to inclusion and diversity both in the work that they do and in their teams. Because more people with disabilities are needed in international development careers, we highly encourage people with disabilities to explore their careers pages to find information about current jobs, internships, fellowships and other opportunities in the United States and around the world.
