Since 1992, thousands of young YCA volunteers have lived and worked with local communities to assist with the growth of sustainable positive development.

For volunteers, YCA’s International Program is all about exploring new boundaries, making important contributions where it counts, and doing what most people simply talk about.

Our International Programs range from 5 – 10 weeks in duration. Volunteers (aged 18 – 30) travel in small groups, with the support of trained Field Staff, to countries around the world.

By being a part of a YCA International Program, volunteers learn how to live and work with local people, do more with less, and come up with solutions to problems at a grass roots level where it counts the most.
