Starting this year, Naval Academy midshipmen will be able to volunteer to spend four weeks each summer working at American embassies and for nongovernmental organizations in developing nations.

"We are looking at opportunities anywhere overseas that is less like the United States," academy superintendent Vice Adm. Jeffrey Fowler told the academy’s Board of Visitors on Monday. "We are not looking for them to go to Paris. We are looking to go to [places like] Senegal, to Africa."
