India
"It was a rich, exciting and fascinating experience, with the opportunity to meet many new people and share information about different cultures with CCS staff and other people from India as well as with other volunteers who were from all different parts of the world. The program did an excellent job of combining voluntary work, cultural exchange and free time for exploring, and providing a safe and comfortable Home-Base from which to do all of this."Shani Langdon, India volunteer
Why Volunteer in India?
As a volunteer in India, you will explore and experience the country’s infinite layers of history, religion, politics, and society. Home to 18 languages, 500 dialects, 30 religions, and over a billion people, India provides the international volunteer with endless opportunities to learn about India, 
its traditions and way of life. From the Himalayan Mountains to the Indus and Ganges rivers, India is a land of great geographical and ethnic diversity. Bordering Pakistan, Nepal, China, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Burma, India has a history that dates back more than 5,000 years.
From Gandhi to modern activists, India has a long history of social activism and a culture of resilience when faced with adversity. 
It is in this environment of social change that Cross-Cultural Solutions was developed in 1995. Today, thousands of volunteers have experienced India through Cross-Cultural Solutions and contributed to the work of local organizations. Volunteering abroad in India offers real insight to global issues; the creativity, strength, and dedication of the local people you work with will truly inspire you.
