Hi Smriti. Emilia is right! We have High School Special specifically designed for volunteers between 15 and 18 years old. These projects offer additional supervision from staff, as well as social activities for your group to get to know each other and explore the country you are visiting.
Yes, high school students can apply! They can either apply regularly or they can apply to be part of "High School Specials," which are specific weeks catered just to high school aged volunteers. These weeks offer heightened supervision, chaperoning, and socializing in order to ensure that the students, being younger teenagers as opposed to college kids or adults, have the extra resources and guidance needed for going abroad alone at a younger age.
