Human Needs and Global Resources (HNGR) is an academic certificate program at Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) that integrates multidisciplinary coursework, a six-month internship, and whole-person formation through experiential learning. Students live, work, worship, and serve with local communities worldwide, while accompanying host partner organizations that confront poverty, challenge inequity, transform conflict, pursue justice, and seek fullness of life. Welcome to our podcast where we reflect and learn together to accompany communities worldwide toward justice and fullness of life.
