Pros
It used to be a leading organization in the field of international volunteering, with 12 programs in four continents.
Cons
CCS was bought in 2016 by a guy who used to run a similar operation but faced huge backlash when two US volunteers and one local employee died in a car accident in Central America. Within one year operations changed to a cheaper model: no more permanent home base or local staff but rather US interns in charge of operations in-country -- so the whole structure of legal support for international volunteers and connections with local organizations was weakened. In the end, that fly-by-night model did not survive.
