About Cross-Cultural Solutions
Cross-Cultural Solutions (CCS) is a nonprofit founded in 1995 working to address critical global issues by providing meaningful volunteer service to communities abroad, and contributing responsibly to local economies.
Our Mission is to operate volunteer programs around the world in partnership with sustainable community initiatives, bringing people together to work side-by-side while sharing perspectives and fostering cultural understanding. Cross-Cultural Solutions is an international nonprofit organization with no political or religious affiliations. Over 35,000 people have participated in our 1-12 week volunteer programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. CCS has a world-wide staff of over 200 people in 10 countries, with administrative staff offices also located in the USA, UK, and Canada.
Our Vision is of a world where people value cultures different from their own, are aware of global issues, and are empowered to effect positive change.
Our Values are:
Shared humanity
When people of different cultures have an opportunity to connect, there comes an understanding of our shared humanity.
Respect
We accept, appreciate, and respect that people know and understand what is appropriate for their own communities.
Integrity
We commit to ensuring the safety, flexibility, professionalism, transparency, and excellence of our programs.
