Cuba Holiday Volunteer Abroad Program

Our Cuba volunteer program centers around the Cuban people – their hopes, dreams and goals. This is a landmark opportunity to volunteer in Cuba and live among the Cuban people: Respond to community needs. Learn from and about the Cuban culture. Advance English competency. Improve community buildings. Help enhance economic vitality. Contribute to mutual international respect. And, support civil society.
India Holiday Volunteer Abroad Program

Established in 2000, our India volunteer program supports three community partners in the outskirts of Chennai during the holiday season: An orphanage/daycare center, a social service center, and an early intervention center. As a volunteer in India, you help at-risk children to grow, thrive and reach their full potential through education, health education, nutrition, and light labor projects.
Peru Holiday Volunteer Abroad Program

The rapid migration of families from rural areas into Lima and fringe communities has left many thousands of children homeless or neglected. Since 2004, we’ve worked in partnership with community leaders to address social problems resulting from the abject poverty. Volunteers teach conversational English, offer psychosocial support to build children’s self-confidence, and help plant school gardens. Be assured that as a volunteer in Peru, your personal contributions make a lasting difference here.
Romania Holiday Volunteer Abroad Program

We’ve provided essential services to at-risk children and school students in Romania since 1999. As a volunteer in Romania, you ensure this support continues – helping prepare nutritious meals, supplementing nursing care, creating stimulating environments, providing clean and warm clothing and diapers, offering physical and psycho-social support, teaching English, and so much more.
Tanzania Holiday Volunteer Abroad Program

Our development commitment in Africa began in 1987. Every year since, volunteering students, groups and families have helped Tanzanian leaders provide essential services so urgently needed to transform the Iringa District. Your help is needed too! Share your skills and help teach, encourage, guide, and understand children living in poverty. As a Tanzania Global Volunteer, you’re on the ground floor of a momentous demonstration program aiming to help children reach their full potential.
