FEATURED PROGRAMS


Volunteer in Ghana
Ghana is a coastal country in West Africa with regions of dense rainforest, dry savannah and grassy plains. Once a British colony, Ghana is known for its thriving tribal culture, rich exports of gold and cocoa, and beautiful terrain. Unfortunately, even with its amazing landscape and culture the nation still relies heavily on international aid to meet the basic needs to some of its poorest citizens.

World Endeavors volunteer programs are in areas where help is needed the most. As a volunteer you can choose from teaching, working at an orphanage, environmental conservation, wildlife conservation, health education, and community development projects.  

Learn more about volunteering in Ghana here: Volunteer in Ghana.

SPEND YOUR SPRING BREAK IN COSTA RICA!

World Endeavors Volunteer in Costa RicaWith fall semester quickly coming to a close and final exams creeping in, it's a good time to start looking ahead to the next big event: spring break!  If you're craving sunshine, warm temperatures, and new experiences, look no further than World Endeavors' Spring Break volunteer programs in beautiful Costa Rica!

Spend a week teaching local children, helping at an orphanage, or doing your part to conserve the natural beauty and wildlife of one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, all the while immersing yourself in the local culture.  In your spare time learn Latin dance, take a Costa Rican cooking class, or hop a bus and explore Costa Rica's beautiful beaches and cloud forests.  Don't spend your spring break on the couch; experience the world with World Endeavors and have a spring break you will never forget!
