Russia
"During the week, my days were full of challenging activities and cultural events which required me above all to try new things. The weekends allowed me to explore the country on my own. The experience was incredibly rewarding. I got to learn more about Russia than I thought was possible in only four weeks."Jonathan McLaughlin, Volunteer in Russia
Free Time in Russia
In your free time you may choose to see a production at a local puppet theater, go to the ballet and museums, take a trip to the Metropolitan Palace along the Volga River, or walk down tree-lined streets and admire the beautiful historic architecture. For volunteers wanting to travel outside of Yaroslavl, Moscow and St. Petersburg are both easily accessible by train. Volunteers who are in Russia between the months of September and March may also enjoy skiing or sledding, ice-skating or ice-fishing on frozen lakes and rivers, and countless indoor activities like concerts and sporting events.
