“Volunteering abroad holds magic on so many fronts, and is the springboard for my global explorations . . . I cannot imagine one without the other anymore.”
Seija Webb, 8-time Global Volunteer
Your greatest contribution is through your personal service on community projects. Work where children are fed, clothed, taught and cared for. Where their health and cognition is improved. Where their mothers and pregnant sisters are counseled, babies are born, teachers are supported and so much more. Volunteer abroad and see how significant you can be.
Help purchase the material resources for the important work our volunteers do. The impact is enormous! You don’t have to wait one minute or travel across the oceans to leave your mark on the world. Send your dollars where schools are built, clean water is provided and dormitories are raised. Help where gardens are planted, libraries are equipped and homes are restored. Contribute now to immediate needs. All donations are tax-deductible.
Share your own volunteer abroad stories with your social network, and carry the message worldwide. How have you helped change the world for good? Inspire the next generation of volunteers abroad to reach out beyond borders to help youth, adults and elders living on the margins of society. It all starts with a simple post, image or tweet!
