Saratov was a closed city until recently, so there is great interest in participating in exchange programs abroad. But it has been difficult to obtain the necessary information for potential exchange students and to find jobs locally related to the training received abroad for former participants, who have returned to Russia. The Saratov Exchange Consulting Center aims to fill that gap.

The center was registered in 1995 as a joint project of the Association of Economics and Management Students Saratov Local Committee and Saratov Rotary Club. It is a nonprofit, non-governmental public organization, and was founded with the support of the Eurasia Foundation, city administration and Saratov Rotary Club.

The primarily goals of the center are:

distributing information about all available exchange programs and foreign traineeships within Saratov;
providing assistance in obtaining application forms and information about tests necessary for participating in the exchanges;
finding employment opportunities for the exchange alumni.

Two paid employees and 17 volunteers currently work at the Saratov Exchange Consulting Center.

The NIS Third Sector Organization section is based on information found in the print edition of "The Post-Soviet Handbook." For more information on the Handbook and instructions on how to order, see our Post Soviet Handbook Information page.
