Experience the CCS Difference

Cross-Cultural Solutions mobilizes volunteers to serve abroad and help address critical global issues in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Our approach to volunteer work is effective because it defers to the needs and goals of the communities we serve; connecting the motivation of volunteers with the expertise of local leaders. Offer yourself to the world as a CCS international volunteer…you’ll be amazed at what you discover.

START THE PROCESS

Start Your Journey! People from more than 100 countries and all walks of life join CCS to volunteer abroad, make a positive, sustainable impact, and immerse themselves in a different culture.

We're Here for You We encourage you to contact us and speak with one of our Program Advisors. They are all former CCS volunteers and will work with you to choose the experience that is right for you.

The Choice is Yours! CCS gives you the ultimate flexibility to customize your volunteer experience — choose your program, location, start date, and length of stay. You can call us to sign up or enroll online.

Get Ready! From travel information to what to pack, your Program Site Specialist, all former CCS volunteers, will prepare you for your volunteer experience and answer all of your questions along the way.

Welcome In-Country! Our dedicated and experienced team of in-country staff will be there to support you all the way. Our staff are always from the local community and have an average of 10+ years in community development.

Your Volunteer Work We take care of all the logistics so you can focus on making a strong impact through your volunteer work. You’ll work side-by-side with local people and contribute directly to the goals of the community.

Alumni Action Network The experience doesn’t end when you return home. CCS has a network of over 25,000 alumni that are motivated to do more. We’ve created the Alumni Action Network to help inspire you once back at home.
