About Program
South Africa has walked a hard road. Colonization and apartheid meant that, until recently, the vast majority of population had been suffering through centuries of oppression and stagnation.
Despite the current progress, South Africa remains a nation of challenges. The poor of South Africa are desperately poor. The HIV/AIDS crisis has left as many as 1.2 million orphans who struggle each day to survive. Global Crossroad makes it possible for you to join a volunteer program in South Africa through orphan care, education, health services or community development projects.
You will gain hands-on experience in your program of choice, while working with like minded volunteers and professionals. This is the perfect opportunity to explore some new or existing areas of interests interests that might serve you well when you return. You will surely have a culturally broadening experience!
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.
