About Program
CC International projects in Puerto Rico address issues such as youth, education, hunger, homelessness, and the environment. We work with local organizations that a proven track record meeting the needs of their communities. Let us know what types of projects your team wants to do and we can build your itinerary.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
