At Global Volunteers, we take an innovative approach to comprehensive human and economic development. We leverage the world’s endlessly renewable resource – volunteers – to catalyze positive change while always working under the direction of local leaders. Our volunteers create, nurture, and sustain the well-being of the world’s children and their families through targeted service in homes, classrooms, clinics, community centers, hospitals, orphanages, childcare centers, libraries, and farms to provide essential services; helping children thrive. We’re invited by community leaders to serve alongside local people in one-to-three-week service programs; investing in long-term community development projects all over the world. We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through safe, meaningful, impactful, service-learning programs. Moreover, Global Volunteers has earned the highest possible ratings from external evaluators, validating that we act with integrity and transparency, are highly effective, and exceed industry standards across virtually all areas.
