April is National Volunteer Month

So how are you planning on giving back? No ideas yet, AIDE Abroad is offering specials all month on our international volunteer programs. You can travel to Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Costa Rica, South Africa or many more to work with a local community and truly make a difference! Sign up this month for our volunteer program and then travel this summer so you can spend 2 or 3 weeks, or maybe even a few months! Check out some exciting opportunities on how you can help:

1. Work with teen mothers and their children in a local center in Costa Rica
2. Help rescue and rehabilitate wild animals who are living in shelters in Costa Rica
3. Educate the local community in Ecuador on the risk of HIV/AIDS
4. Assist in rainforest conservation in a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest national park in Peru

There are many opportunities to give back based on what your skills and interests are. If you are still wondering why you should give back this summer and participate in April's national volunteer month let me give you a few more reasons: You can build your resume through service learning and utilize the skills you've learned in college or university AND you can interact with locals on a day-to-day basis impacting not only their lives but your own as you will broaden your view of the world and learn about the culture of others.

Let us help you figure out the best program for you! We are passionate about service learning and traveling abroad and we feel that you should be too! Get involved today!
