A volunteer trip abroad with Cross-Cultural Solutions will change you. Change the way you see other cultures. Maybe even change how you live your life. All while you change the lives of others for the better. Ultimately we’re changing the way volunteering is done, making it a safe, exciting adventure of a lifetime for people of all ages and walks of life.
Once enrolled, you will have the chance to select the volunteer opportunity that's most interesting to you. Volunteers will always receive their first preference. The only exception to this will be when there are national or school holidays, or there are exceptional circumstances.
Our in-country teams are all local people who understand the needs of their communities, and our Country Directors are experts in the field of international development. With their firsthand knowledge and experience, our staff effectively connect volunteers to sustainable projects. They will guide you throughout your experience and make you feel at home in the Home-Base.
