Summer is a great time to volunteer - with the most start dates and program sites offered it is also one of our most popular times to volunteer abroad. CCS is a great option for people looking for a meaningful and fun experience through our summer volunteer programs.
Summer Volunteer Opportunities for Everyone
Each year, around 2,000 people volunteer over the summer months on CCS programs around the world. Our volunteers come from all walks of life—students interested in doing an internship to develop their career, teachers on summer break who want to volunteer in a local community, families volunteering together with children for summer holidays. Many people use their summer break to travel and learn about the world, and volunteering abroad through a CCS program is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Volunteering in the summer offers many special opportunities:
- Are you looking for teen volunteer options? Teen Volunteer Abroad is specifically designed for teens ages 15-17 who wish to experience a structured, safe volunteer program.
- Want to plan an unforgettable and educational summer class trip? Summertime is the most popular period for faculty-led, and other group trips.
- Trying to find a remarkable graduation gift? A CCS program is a wonderful, life-changing opportunity to experience the world and have fun at the same time. CCS program fees are 100% tax-deductible for U.S. residents!
