Additional Background Information:
Global Volunteers is led by experts in international micro-economic and human development who work with local leaders to translate long-term development goals into volunteer strategies.
We're privileged to work with exceptional host partners in all parts of the world. Now in our third decade, our investment in local communities has created an unmatched opportunity for volunteers and donors to truly make a difference. At the invitation of local leaders, we return to the same host community up to 18 times each year -- year after year. Our proprietary methods of engaging and preparing volunteers ensure mutually beneficial catalytic experiences between the team members and local people in the host community.
