Today you may be starting a new job and experiencing the culture of a new work place. Tomorrow you may be meeting friends and exploring the sites, sounds and cultural activities available in your city. Or you may even be traveling to another country and experiencing the customs and traditions of another culture. The world is a very big place and it’s full of opportunities for you!
While you are exploring your opportunities…have you considered the adventure of volunteering abroad? Perhaps you are seeking to grow both your sense of self and sense of the world or simply taking a career break? Volunteering abroad is one way you can make a difference and gain a meaningful travel experience. Whether it is two weeks teaching English to underprivileged youth in Cambodia, three months working in an orphanage in Kenya, or a year assisting with turtle conservation in the Galapagos, volunteering abroad allows for a flexible time frame while you gain valuable world and work experience. Today is another opportunity for an adventure, seize the day and sign up for the opportunity of a lifetime!
Volunteer Abroad and…
_Travel With a Sense of Purpose: While visiting the hill tribes of Thailand, or touring the Taj Majal, volunteering/interning abroad gives your travels a purpose and an activity to look forward to. Additionally room and board is included in your travels so you know where you are going and what you will be doing there.
_ Grow Your Sense of Self: Volunteering always improves your sense of self worth. Volunteer abroad and gain multiple benefits as your test your abilities, develop new skills, grow in your adaptability, confidence, independence, and individual empowerment.
_ Enhance Your Resume and Job Skills: Cultural Embrace Coordinators work with you to find a volunteer/internship opportunity in a destination that best meets your experience and interests. In some cases you may find a volunteer position in your field of study. For example the agriculture major may find ecological farming in Costa Rica to be a perfect match.
_ Make a Difference: Perhaps you are guided by a greater purpose and believe that “to the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world”. For you, volunteering abroad is for completely altruistic reasons. By volunteering abroad, you'll only create positive change in our global community and but also within your own spirit.
