The benefits of volunteering as a group with Global Volunteers are many. Obtain educational, cultural and occupational opportunities that can't be duplicated through a traditional "tour" experience.
As an NGO in consultation with the United Nations, Global Volunteers is uniquely networked within the local, national and international decision-making arenas. This enables us to engage you in the most effective short-term service projects possible.
Global Volunteers currently works with alumni and student organizations, professional associations and other groups. All have reported that service learning is a gratifying way to be engaged in another part of the world. Consider these important questions:
- How can an intensive immersion experience broaden your group's understanding of a new culture?
- Is your group motivated by the significant difference that a compassionate team can make?
- Are you aware that a complete service learning package is readily available for your intact group?
- Are you curious about how to add service-learning opportunities to your standard travel program?
We connect you with people who need and want your assistance on important development projects... like Romanian care-givers and Chinese English teachers. At the same time, you learn first-hand about their culture and traditions in a uniquely "non-tourist" way. If you plan to fundraise for part or all of your service program, consult our fundraising tips.
Volunteers work together with local people using proven community development methods. This strategy has been instumental to the continued acceptance and effectiveness of Global Volunteers in host communities worldwide for two decades. Since 1984, we've pioneered long-term partnerships with host communities based upon a model of mutual respect. We extend these valuable relationships to you. Read group testimonials here.
Become a "Partner in Development." You'll return home changed... in ways you can't imagine.
