Participant age: At least 18 years old

Timeframe: Year round

Program: Our Volunteer Ventures Program offers a practical experiential program rooted in philanthropy, public service, and community support.

Participants will have at least 20 hours per week of supervised volunteer experience in local community non-profit organizations, educational institutions, senior care facilities, community outreach, and support organizations.

The supervised volunteer program allows participants to gain a hands-on understanding of the mission and functioning of local community organizations that provide a variety of non-governmental social services.

Participants will thereby gain practical skills in the area of providing services to those in need in local communities in the U.S. and also improve English skills in the professional arena.

Participants are hosted by an American family for the duration of the volunteer program.

A local exchange student program coordinator will administer and orientation and be available to support the participant throughout the duration of their program.
