When you join a Global Volunteers team, you join a worldwide network of service nurtured by local host organizations and staff on six continents -- and supported by a golden chain of dedicated volunteers who have preceded you and will follow in your footsteps. All work together to ensure our partnerships will consistently address the needs of the local people we serve. A steady stream of committed volunteers and sufficient funding form the foundation of our continued support across the globe.
While your participation on a service program is the "core" of Global Volunteers' partnership with host communities, we also need your help to recruit others to join future teams, and to provide additional financial support for vulnerable children in host communities worldwide. Local and online opportunities to keep your service alive are numerous! Stay connected through our "Serve-Sponsor-Support" Program!
Sponsor a Child or Classroom: Global Volunteers' hosts rely on our financial assistance to provide for the basic living and educational needs of the children in their care. Our volunteer teams help year-around; however, funding often falls short. That’s where your sponsorship help fills the gap.
Join an Encore Team: As a Global Volunteer, your continued support is very important to us. To make it easy to stay connected with your host community and the others who have served there, you can join a local or “virtual” group of volunteers who work together to recruit new volunteers and promote Global Volunteers in your community.
