The Travelocity Change Ambassador Grant offers up to $5,000 for people of all ages interested in volunteering abroad with CCS to cover the program fee and other travel expenses. Travelocity provides this funding as part of their "Travel for Good" initiative, their effort to “embrace travel as an agent of positive change.” Through this program, Travelocity aims to make it easier for people to find and take part in volunteer opportunities around the world. The Change Ambassador Grant is distributed quarterly, and awarded to people who have shown a commitment to service, yet need financial support to take part in volunteer travel.
Many CCS volunteers have applied for and received this grant:
Cross Cultural Solutions was exceptional and created the experience I was looking for. I’m a special education teacher and wanted to share my knowledge and love of children with disabilities. Educating children in Africa has made me a better teacher. I will forever be indebted to Travelocity for making this trip possible.

Fortunate enough to receive a Change Ambassadors grant through Travelocity’s Travel For Good program, most of my expenses were covered. But I would go back on my own dime in a heartbeat… through CCS, I was allowed to give back to the local community, even if only in a small way.

I won the lottery with the Change Ambassadors Grant making my dream to volunteer in India come true! Cross Cultural Solutions' placement in Dharamsala, India was the beautiful site to meet, learn & exchange with the local organizers, community, and fellow volunteers.
