Community Projects to Change Lives.
You work at the community level, where crops are planted, children are taught and protected, and health care is delivered. Assignments are structured to engage you at a place and pace appropriate to your personal experience and energy. Together with your teammates, you build on the efforts of previous volunteers, extending the community’s capacity and long-term knowledge base. This is how you maximize your impact. You dedicate your own professional expertise, life experience and long-held interests to an individual assignment that ripples through the entire community.
Community Projects Directed By Community Leaders.
You’re a catalyst for lasting change. Every volunteer contributes to their greatest potential, because our inspirational community partners have the vision and local support to direct volunteer abroad projects. Individuals, families and groups provide “helping hands” – whether teaching English, planting container gardens, providing health care, teaching in the classroom or counseling pregnant women. Our community partners represent large and small local organizations, such as:
- The Kunming Educational Bureau, Teachers’ Training Center of Kunming University, China
- The Baptist Workers and Students Coordination of Cuba (COEBAC)
- The Governor’s Office of Siedlce, Poland
- Soroptimist Kathmandu, a women’s economic and social development NGO in Nepal
- The St. Lucia Catholic Archdiocese
- The Iringa diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania
- The Ministries of Health, Agriculture and Education, and the Cook Islands Civil Society Organizations (CICSO)
- The Blackfeet Indian Tribe in Montana
- Fundación de Damas Calderonenses, a local women’s cooperative in Ecuador
