Global Crossroad Achievements

• In its first year of operation (2003), Global Crossroad placed only 23 volunteers. In 2004, nearly 600 volunteers participated in our overseas volunteer projects, making Global Crossroad the most successful volunteer organization of its kind.
• In 2005, we traveled 20 different countries of the world, searched for the meaningful projects, and established volunteer abroad programs across Asia, Africa, and Latin America . The most remarkable program of 2005 was Tsunami Reconstruction Project of Sri Lanka. Nearly 700 volunteers participated in Sri Lanka project. However, total number of volunteers was increased by nearly 200% totaling to 1768 volunteers in 2005.
• Nearly 95 percent of our participants give our programs high ratings. We have hundreds of letters and e-mails from satisfied volunteers who have lauded our high quality programs, our excellent services, our host family accommodations, and the knowledgeable support of our in-country coordinators. Please contact us if you would like to speak to our former volunteers.
• Volunteers have averaged 6 weeks at a project, giving 20 hours a week of their precious time and talent. In total, Global Crossroad volunteers have given more than 212,160 hours to local communities in developing nations by assisting in schools and orphanages, working to protect and conserve forests, and improving the lives of disadvantaged men, women, and children. The immeasurable value of our volunteers' contributions will be realized for years to come.
