Action Projects
GPI's Action Team is the officers within GPI working toward giving MIT students tangible opportunities to work on and create international development projects while still at MIT. The projects we work on are innovative, sustainable projects that will really help a community fulfill one or more of their needs, while simultaneously providing a venue through which students can learn international development skills and gain valuable experience abroad.
