A month in Costa Rica
Want to know what it’s like to volunteer for a month in Costa Rica with Cross-Cultural Solutions?
The following samplings from my journal/blog clearly depict my amazing experience volunteering abroad in Cartago with CCS.
I feel I have learned more in my 2 months in Guatemala than I have in my 15 years of full time education and I have certainly grown up a lot and become much more independent. I think I have developed emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.

It's so cliche to say that this ‘changed my life’ but I feel like it enriched my life in ways I'm still discovering. The most prominent thought in my mind as I was preparing to leave [Costa Rica] and in the days after I returned home was ‘I need to do this again.

WAYS TO RECEIVE ACADEMIC CREDIT
Do you want credit for serving abroad? Here are some ways that can happen! You can register for an independent study or a service learning course, complete a CCS internship, or fulfill any community service graduation requirements. Some academic and licensure programs require a supervisor, which we can provide. Contact your academic advisor, education abroad office, or career services office to review your options. If you need guidance with this process, you can email our CCS Campus Engagement guru, Carlton Rounds, to help figure out your options! Email: carlton@crossculturalsolutions.org.
I decided to take a break from school and my parents suggested to me, going to Costa Rica for 3 months with CCS. I am so happy I did, I have taken away and learned so much from my time spent there... Personally it confirmed what career I wanted to pursue and taught me so much about myself and the world I live in.
