Volunteering Abroad
As an international volunteer with Cross-Cultural Solutions, you're making a meaningful contribution, working side-by-side with local people and sharing in the goals of a community that warmly welcomes you. You're experiencing another culture like never before and really getting to know its people.
You'll gain new perspectives and insight into the culture and yourself. It's an exciting and personally inspiring experience, and you'll develop memories that will be with you forever.
You’ll enjoy the flexibility of choosing from 12 countries, start dates year-round and programs from 1-12 weeks long.
CCS offers international volunteer programs in Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Morocco, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania, and Thailand. Wherever you choose, our in-country staff welcomes you to the CCS Home-Base, your home away from home.
