Perk | What Makes It Lush |
---|---|
A paycheck, stipend or "thank you" cash |
Depending on your program choice, you can earn a competitive monthly pay or simple pocket money as a "thank you" gift. In other words, maybe as little as enough for gelato runs and as much as bringing some cash home. |
Accommodation, possibly food too |
Although your flights are on you, some summer programs cover meals and a private room. Others cover accommodation. |
Experience That Wows |
International teaching, leadership, and cultural agility? Employers eat that up. |
Flexible Dates |
Pick 2-12 weeks between late May and mid-August. Summer, sorted. |
Built-In BFFs |
Join a squad of like-minded explorers—instant mates for karaoke nights and museum crawls. Travel with a friend. Share the love. |







Cultural Exchange
Cultural Exchange is part of our name. It is incredibly important in our shared world today, and we're very proud of these summer-abroad program values.
General Questions About Summer Programs
-
Do I need experience to qualify?
No! You don't need any experience.
We’re always excited to welcome passionate individuals into our community! At The Cultural Exchange Project, we are continually inspired by the people who share our enthusiasm for creating meaningful global impact.
Joining The Cultural Exchange Project means being part of a vibrant network of like-minded individuals committed to making a difference. Explore the varied summer opportunities to find the role that best fits your skills, interests, and goals. No matter how you participate, your contributions will help us grow stronger and achieve even more together.
-
Do I need to know the local language?
Our projects do not require language proficiency except English.
Most teaching projects prefer that you speak only English and not rely on the local language. This helps the students learn better and rely on English.
-
Will I get paid?
Depending on the project, you may receive a small "thank you" gift and earn a full-time salary for the few weeks you're teaching.
