Do Your Part in Colombia
The northwest corner of South America holds many resources and natural beauties such as the Andes Mountains, brilliant volcanoes and tropical rainforests. Join the 41 million people living in Colombia and help in orphanages, with environmental legislation, with the disabled or one of our other activities in the capital city of Bogot. In a society where family is of utmost importance, you would become a son or daughter of a Colombian household. Dance the Merengue, play the most popular sport of soccer or dodge a few bulls on your time off of supporting the local systems and culture.

Cost: Varies depending on the duration of your stay (6 months, 1 year).
Dates: Start date in August.
