REGISTER

Do students have medical insurance? What do I do in case of emergency?

We highly recommend, but do not require, that students have medical insurance. If you like, you can specify during the registration process that you are only comfortable hosting students who have medical insurance. You should discuss what to do with the student(s) in case of an emergency. You might want to get information from the student about who to contact in an emergency.

Does STAND do any screening of students or organizations?

STAND is a student volunteer organization and makes no representations regarding the potential suitability of any volunteer or summer intern for a particular organization, assignment, or host family living accommodation. All interns are encouraged and advised to conduct their own assessments of a proposed opportunity or assignment, to their own satisfaction, prior to accepting an assignment.
