A Tanzanian Adventure in Service!


Have you ever thought:  “I have one chance to truly make a difference?”

This is it! Join a Tanzanian adventure in service – your chance to make a long-lasting difference in children’s and mothers’ lives. And, along the way, you’ll change your own for good. Just 1-2 weeks on a long-term development program. It’s your chance of a lifetime.

And what’s more, your service program contribution is tax-deductible! Contact us for a full description of costs.

The volunteer work projects are meaningful and effective. Provide preschool instruction and care, primary school tutoring, secondary school mentoring, programs for pregnant women and children, and repair and improvements to community buildings – while experiencing all the color, music, art and flavor of Tanzanian culture. Work with youth, adults, teachers, health care professionals and community leaders – a wide swath of Tanzanian society.

Give. Explore. Care. Make Friends. Be a Global Volunteer.

Living and working in a rural African village assures you a broad perspective of human resiliency. Through daily assignments, cultural activities and time for personal adventures, you’ll learn about Tanzania and remain forever invested. Travel with us – a long-standing non-profit leader in worldwide volunteering.

There’s no other chance like this to truly make a significant difference in the world!

Why Pay to Volunteer?

Our development partnerships rely on a steady stream of volunteers – of all backgrounds and skills.  Global Volunteers provides essential services no cost to people in need, which enables partner communities to fully benefit from the human and material resources these teams provide. Your tax-deductible contribution not only covers your own daily costs and volunteer recruitment and management, but invests in these ongoing partnerships to sustain the important work from year to year. All inclusive, year-round itineraries include lodging, food, local transportation, project materials, program administrative costs and a trained team leader. Over 33 years worldwide, we’ve refined this model to provide the best direct service to children and families possible through short-term volunteers.

“This was without question the most rewarding experience of my life – helping people with important projects, feeling the warmth and appreciation of children and teens, and living the life of a villager. It was authentic, and unparalleled.”
