There are several success-based reasons to travel abroad.
A full 97 percent of study abroad students found a full-time job within 12 months of graduation, compared to just 49 percent of college grads in general.
84 percent of students felt the experience allowed them to build valuable job market skills they could not have received elsewhere.
Many are taking the opportunity to teach English in India or sign up for rewarding volunteer programs. In India, college student volunteers get life-changing reasons to travel abroad.
Savvy students know that study and volunteer abroad adventures vary in quality and meaning.
One way of ensuring your travel abroad means something is to be a part of a quality volunteer community that allows you to meet and interact with everyday residents who need your skills and learning.
What better way to see the world than through the eyes of locals themselves?
After all, connecting with other people in far-flung regions of the world is one of the top reasons to travel abroad.
Consider volunteering in India as part of a gap year adventure or college service opportunity.
