Cross-Cultural Solutions programs include lodging at a CCS Home-Base in the community where you will be volunteering. Shared occupancy—four to six volunteers per room in bunkbeds—is the standard. At some program sites, however, double-occupancy rooms may be available.
Volunteers who choose to reserve a double-occupancy room will be placed with another CCS volunteer of the same gender unless they reserve the room with a fellow volunteer. Double-occupancy rooms typically contain a bunk bed and share common areas, including bathrooms, with other volunteers. Family members and individuals of the same gender are able to guarantee the same double-occupancy room provided that each volunteer reserves this individually.
Double-occupancy rooms are sometimes assigned to volunteers who have not reserved this space, but room assignments are never guaranteed if not reserved. If you will be volunteering during the peak season, however double-occupancy rooms are limited, so we encourage making a reservation if you are interested in these rooms.
To guarantee your space in a double-occupancy room, there is an additional fee of US$50 (£UK27, CAN$61) per person per week. Please contact a Program Enrollment Manager or your Program Manager to reserve this space.
