The existing literature has much to offer regarding the adjustment issues of international students. English proficiency and social support appear to be the biggest factors affecting the social, academic, and cultural adjustment of international students. Psychology graduate programs can exacerbate these challenges due to strenuous workload, smaller class sizes, and greater social engagement and clinical application of course material. Through service-learning activities, international students can interact with students or volunteers with diverse interests, engage in and become more familiar with their community, participate in cross-cultural interactions, and provide varied ways of learning and applying course material. The goal of this research was to learn more about the effects of community engagement through community service or service learning on social, cultural, and academic adjustment in international psychology graduate students through qualitative analysis of participants' experiences. Participants in this study were international students currently enrolled in master's or doctoral psychology programs, in on-ground campuses in the United States who had participated in volunteer or community service work. Through qualitative narrative semi-structured interviews, five themes were found across the participants' interviews in relation to their academic, social, cultural adjustment, and community service experiences. Participants identified academic and social barriers to adjustment and ways in which volunteer participation assisted in overcoming challenges. All participants indicated volunteer work was helpful to aspects of their adjustment which suggests integration of volunteer work into graduate programs may be beneficial for international students as well as increased engagement and support from peer mentors and instructors.
