Testimonials
"I'm sure when I ponder my life experiences, during the twilight of my years, I will regard my six weeks in Thailand as six of the most sensational weeks of my life... I traveled to Thailand hoping for an enriching experience. What I found exceeded my wildest expectations."
Chris Cox, International Health Program, Thailand

Encourage Others to Volunteer Abroad
Friends, family and other members of your community will be interested in learning more about your experience. Once they do, some will also want to have an international volunteering experience. Forward one of our newsletters or a link to our site to your friends. Spread the word!
Expand your Experience of International Community Service
If you just got your feet wet with the GSC two-week or short-term volunteer program or would like to experience a GSC program on another continent, join us again in Thailand or Tanzania. Your prior experience and knowledge is very valuable to the organization and the programs we operate. Returning GSC volunteers receive a 10% discount on future programs.
Continue to Support GSC Community Service Work
If during your GSC program you discovered the satisfaction of helping others in need, you can continue to support the work of GSC with your own donations and via fundraising on our behalf. Past volunteers have been involved in fundraising activities as diverse as establishing a college support group to asking wedding guests to donate to a GSC program rather than giving wedding gifts. For more information and assistance with your fundraising activities, contact us.
And Most Importantly : Stay in Touch!
If you have changed addresses or email, send us your updated contact information so that you can be kept up to date with the latest GSC developments. Keep in contact with the local GSC staff you worked with in Thailand or Tanzania. Email GSC and let us know who you would like to be put in touch with and we would be happy to connect you.
