CCS Volunteer with children
"It was the most amazing experience of my life. Cross-Cultural Solutions was able to incorporate fun, learning, experience, culture, friendships, understanding, and an overall new perspective of life and the world in a truly inspiring and wonderful way!"

As a volunteer with Cross-Cultural Solutions, you will experience another culture like never before, and work side-by-side with local people in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Our volunteer placements are focused on people-to-people interaction and cross-cultural exchange, and they span the fields of caregiving, community development, healthcare, and teaching.

2013 marked both the 18th anniversary and 30,000th CCS volunteer. Over these past 18 years, thousands of volunteers have been able to make a difference on an individual level, but together, our volunteers have had a real and positive impact on communities around the world. You can help continue the cycle of service.

Do something different and meaningful this year - volunteer with CCS for the experience of a lifetime. Choose programs from 1 to 12 weeks, year-round.
