The purpose of this study is to understand the experience of college students in a volunteer abroad program and explore the influence of the volunteering experience on their lives. For this study purpose, college students participating the volunteer abroad program in Adygeya were selected as the informants of the study and the ethnographic case study using various media (e.g., interview, diary, and research note) was applied. The collected data were categorized based on their volunteer experiences and the meanings of the experiences. In general, college student volunteers initially felt the sense of ‘expectation’ and ‘anxiety’. The preparing period was ‘full of relational conflicts’ because the volunteers has different backgrounds. In the period of volunteering in Adygeya, they experienced ‘social and cultural communication’ with other volunteers and volunteering recipients, led to the opportunities to understand other cultures and to introspect about themselves. These experiences became the foundation in ‘extension of meaning about volunteering’, ‘practical understanding of community’ and ‘life of introspection’. For the successful and meaning volunteer experiences of college students, it is necessary to help them understand the various conflicts and educate them for volunteering as a social and cultural exchange program and various needs and difficulties during the volunteering period.
