International NGO

Volunteering abroad is our mission, not our business. We are an international NGO (non-governmental organization), operating in 12 countries.

We are a recognized expert in the field

In 2003, we were granted Special Consultative Status by the United Nations.

Since 2001, we have been selected as the partner-of-choice to operate the CARE Corps program. CARE is one of the world's largest international humanitarian organizations and works in more than 60 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Program fees are dedicated to volunteer costs

The CCS Program Fee is comprehensive and covers all your in-country needs. This ensures that the local communities we work with are not financially burdened by our volunteers.

In fact, 90% of the Program Fee goes toward the Volunteer Program and Field Expenses with only 10% going toward General and Administrative Costs. Learn more about how the fee is allocated.

Every decision that we make takes into consideration the best interests of our volunteers, the local projects we work with, and the communities where we operate. We are committed to ensuring the safety, flexibility, professionalism, transparency, and excellence of our programs. Learn more about our philosophy and values.

Our dedication to the community and our passion for our work can best be explained by CCS volunteers. Contact us today to speak with one of our alumni.
