Teen Volunteer Abroad: High School Specials

If you are a teenager (16 to 19 years old) and enrolled in full-time education you can join us on a High School Special. Each volunteer project follows a schedule of taught sessions, hands-on and observational service work, as well as evening activities and weekend excursions. Lasting from two weeks to one month, these teen volunteer abroad programs are designed to make the most of your short time abroad while contributing to your community service credit requirements or college applications. 

Read more about the structure of High School Specials, how travel arrangements work, or explore below the variety of High School Specials projects available.
