Volunteer Work with Children Abroad

With CCS you’ll do meaningful work that addresses a specific community need. As you immerse yourself in the community – your new neighborhood – and work alongside local people to make a real impact, you’ll find beauty in every connection and commonality discovered, large or small. The CCS international volunteer experience offers you a genuine volunteer experience with countless opportunities to connect with, and learn from, local people in those communities in which you'll work to support. Volunteering to teach children abroad is a powerful way to effect entire communities. Apply your passion to support local youth and educators.

For this reason, we strongly suggest that students book through our travel coordinator, Leah Hernandez, of Reservation Services International so that all members of the team can fly on the same prearranged itinerary. Leah obtains great fares, arranges for group seating, and provides close monitoring and assistance on travel days in case of flight difficulties. As airlines often change their schedules, Lifeworks cannot be responsible for the coordination of flights not booked through Reservation Services International. When booking travel, students should be aware that the program start date (as shown on the Dates and Fees page) is the date upon which the Lifeworks group flight(s) departs the hub airport in the U.S.

For all programs, Lifeworks posts a representative in the hub airport on fly days. Internal Flights.

Lifeworks students spend some time exploring the beauty of this city and the surrounding Sacred Valley, including excursions in horseback riding, biking, whitewater rafting and, of course, spectacular Machu Picchu! But behind the beaten path of the tourist attractions live struggling children and families often unnoticed in the eyes of the tourist.

It is here that Lifeworkers really engage their hearts, hands and minds. An estimated 25% of Peruvian mothers are under the age of 18. Two out of three Peruvian women are victims of abuse. Overwhelming, yes, but beyond staggering statistics are hopeful foundations working for change and a brighter future. Lifeworkers assist organizations like these in a number of ways.
