Review for Cross-Cultural Solutions, New Rochelle, NY, USA
I volunteered at the Costa Rica site along with a group of co-workers from my consulting company. I had an absolutely incredible experience, and was surprised by how much we were able to do in just one short week. The CCS staff is very organized, and did a great job scoping our volunteer project and making sure that we were always working hard in the mornings. Our group volunteered a a local nursing home, and formed some great relationships with the residents while there. The cultural activities were great every evening, and I felt like I learned a lot about the local culture. I was able to practice my Spanish as well. Overall, the CCS staff and the experience was great!
I would definitely recommend this program for somebody looking for a fun, engaging, well-organized, and meaningful international volunteer experience.
