Participants will work at a variety of projects during their time in Boston. This will allow the participants to gain a variety of experiences while learning about the non-profit and social sector in the U.S.

Excursions

Sample excursions and cultural activities that are included in the Boston program are:

- Tour the Massachusetts State House to learn more about the workings of the U.S. government.
- Tour the Freedom Trail and learn about American history
- Tour Harvard University and experience student life in Harvard Square
- Visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
- Tour the U.S.S. Constitution – the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat

Additional exciting excursions and activities can be added upon request. Some activities are seasonal or based on availability.

It’s not all about hard work in the U.S.! Soak up some culture and history as well. While you’ll be volunteering on average between 30 and 40 hours a week, we also think it’s important that our volunteers relax. All Short-Term US Quests include cultural activities. Language lessons (20 hours of English classes per week) are available for an additional fee of $1,345 for 4-weeks.

What’s Included:

- Accommodation with host family, including breakfasts and dinners
