What You Can Do
As a Cross-Cultural Solutions volunteer, you'll work side-by-side with local people to help achieve important community objectives. The volunteer work is with carefully selected Partner Programs, all of which are dynamic and inspiring community-led initiatives. These include orphanages and childcare centers, schools, health clinics and hospitals, homes for the elderly, centers for people with disabilities, and other community organizations. By working with Partner Programs on projects that each local organization has defined and set up, our volunteer opportunities directly contribute to the objectives of the local community.
Volunteers staying 2 to 12 weeks complete a Skills & Interests Survey, which helps our in-country staff to match you with a local Partner Program. This ensures that you are volunteering in a project that interests you and that the local Partner Programs can also benefit from your work. However, if you’re volunteering for just one week (Insight Abroad), the volunteer work is a group project, structured with the needs of the local community in mind and the goal of accomplishing the project within a week.
