Teen Volunteer and Intern Abroad
High School Specials are short-term international volunteer service projects and internships that are specifically designed for teenagers. Back in 2004, we put our many years of experience in international service into creating a new program just for high school volunteers. The result is our High School Specials – a collection of fifty projects that engage over 1,000 young people each year on projects in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the South Pacific. If you are 16 to 19 years old and enrolled in full-time education you can join us on a High School Special. Each project follows a schedule of taught sessions, hands-on and observational work, as well as evening activities and weekend excursions. Lasting two to four weeks, these programs are designed to make the most of your short time abroad while contributing to your volunteer credit requirement.
