While people often refer to international volunteering as "volunteer vacations," most CCS volunteers consider the experience to be so much more, offering new perspectives and insight into the culture and yourself.
In fact, "volunteer vacation" is a commonly-used term to describe short-term international volunteer trips. Technically, you are volunteering during your vacation, or holiday time; however, the experience of volunteering abroad is quite unique.
CCS volunteers describe their experience as unlike any other, an experience that you would otherwise not have as a typical tourist. Unlike what people may expect from the term "volunteer vacation," it is a true learning experience.
You'll gain new perspectives and insight into the local culture and yourself. It's an exciting and personally inspiring experience and you'll develop memories that will be with you forever. CCS programs enable people from all walks of life to have this unique experience of international volunteering and to take the next step in learning about global issues.
