A Cross-Cultural Solutions volunteer program will take you on a journey to another country - where you will work side-by-side with local people, immerse yourself in another culture, and live in a community that warmly welcomes you.
Our unique programs will give you the opportunity to exchange ideas with people of another culture and interact on a global level. Most importantly, it will open the door to new relationships with people who will change your life - as much as you change theirs.
