My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Cross-Cultural Solutions, New Rochelle, NY, USA
My experience with CCS was exceptional, and I am still thinking about my time in South Africa and how it has shaped my life years after my time spent there. The staff in the country you serve will all be local, very friendly and accommodating and they are just great people to work and with. My two favorite aspects of CCS: 1. The placements. You are placed in a volunteer position that best suits you and your interests, which allows you to make the most impact. You work with locals that really need and appreciate the work you do with them and for them. 2. The cultural immersion aspect. You are placed in a language class to help you communicate more effectively with the locals at your placement. You are also given historical lessons, taken on field trips to encounter the country, and individuals come to speak to the group about different facets of the country that you are serving. I recommend this volunteer program to anyone who is interested in making a significant impact abroad, while also gaining knowledge about the language, history, and culture of your country.
