The Deadline for 2007 applications has passed
The main focus of the Summer Volunteer program is to provide a Russian/American team of volunteers to live and work in a rural Russian orphanage for 4 weeks during the summer. We have been providing summer volunteers to orphanages for seven years.
The skill sets needed for summer volunteers are markedly different than those needed for internships because you will be working in an isolated environment in a rural Russian town.
