Since 2005 Second Saturday Network has supported community based educational activities initiated by our community service interns. These interns are college students or recent college graduates interested in working with African heritage families.

Project Tanzania
Global Service Learning: Preventing HIV/AIDS
Second Saturday Network sponsored four trips to Tanzania between 2007 and 2010. These trips were part of a global learning initiative that a small group of San Jose State faculty, staff and students had been working together to develop since June of 2006. Those who have participated in this initiative share a vision of developing a unique international learning experience for high potential students from families with low to moderate income.
