Proposed Itinerary for a Winter Break Volunteer Trip
Phase 1: Orientation (few hours)
This is where your students will be introduced to various important aspects of the culture, traditions, religions, and societal components of the country that they are visiting.
Your students will be briefed on their chosen winter break volunteering overseas opportunity during this time. All of their questions will be answered, so that they are ready and prepared to begin their humanitarian work.
Phase 2: Volunteer Program (5-6 days)
This is the core of your students’ adventure. They will choose to dedicate your time to a program that involves things like teaching, orphanage work, animal conservation, nature conservation, and construction.
Most groups are no bigger than four to five volunteers. Everything will be set up for your students, including their accommodations and transportation.
Phase 3: Closing
Your students will complete an evaluation of their winter break volunteering abroad opportunity experience. This will be a time when they say their farewells and head back to their home country.
Possible Winter Break Volunteer Trip Options
Building and Construction Projects
Are your students handy and actually enjoying working with their hands? There is a great need for volunteers like you in rural and poverty stricken communities around the world.
Your students will be helping to build and rebuild important community structures, like school, libraries, and orphanages.
Teaching Projects
Are your students interested in or looking to gain experience in the field of education? This winter break volunteering abroad opportunity is an excellent chance to explore this field, while also providing some very valuable English education to students who might not be able to receive it otherwise.

Orphanages around the globe are in great need of compassionate, kind, loving, and caring individuals to come lend a hand. These poor children would benefit greatly from your presence and efforts toward their overall wellbeing. This will be an incredibly heart warming experience working with incredibly grateful children.

Some Features of Global Crossroad’s Winter Break Volunteer Trip Programs
Customize Your Group Itinerary
Regardless of your students’ interests, we can craft a personalized itinerary to ensure that your students’ needs are met.
Group Accommodations
All students will be kept together in a group living situations, such as a hostel or nearby host families. This will ensure that they can share their experience, remain connected, and feel safe.
Orientation and Cultural Immersion
Unlike individual volunteer programs, we invite local expert to give an orientation about the local country, history, life, and safety measures to your students. Depending upon the needs of the group, we also organize local cultural immersion programs, like observing local dances, visiting local villages, cooking classes, and language studies.
Travel
Over the weekend or during times of no volunteer commitment, small trips will be organized to expose your students to different parts of the country in which they are visiting.
Designated Group Leaders
Safety and the experience of the students or volunteers are very important to us. So depending up on the number of volunteers, either someone from the US office will serve as a team leader or if group is small, our local country coordinator or staff will serve as a team leader.
Our leader will stay with group 24/7 to make sure the program is going well and the students are safe at all times.
Group Discount
Global Crossroad offers the world's most affordable programs! However, we are still willing to offer discounts to groups.
