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.

- Accommodation with host family, including breakfasts and dinners
