Russia

"Both in NY and in Russia, the staff was the most wonderful, helpful, intelligent, interesting, amazing group of people! We had added issues due to the "course" nature of our group (i.e. large group and grade involved) but the staff took this in stride and made every effort to help us and accommodate our special needs. From the pre-trip organization to the director to the translators to the drivers, everyone was professional and engaging. "

Renee Falconer, Volunteer in Russia

Home-Base in Russia

Volunteers in Russia stay at a comfortable hotel in the middle of the city and eat their meals at the hotel's restaurant at a special table reserved for Cross-Cultural Solutions' volunteers. The central location of the Home-Base allows you easy access to the local culture, as well as to the volunteer work placements. The hotel also houses the Cross-Cultural Solutions Russia office, so staff members are always nearby.

Cross-Cultural Solutions' Country Director Nadia Savelieva is from Yaroslavl. She says:

"You will be captivated by the serenity of the riverside promenade and the sheer beauty of the architecture and art that grace our city. We look forward to welcoming you to the CCS Home-Base where our staff will ensure that your experience is unforgettable! In fact, many of our alumni return several times to volunteer again with us!"

Transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement and any Perspectives Programming activities is provided by Cross-Cultural Solutions' licensed drivers.
