Offering International Volunteer Projects in Over 100 Countries

Volunteers For Peace ~ offers placement in international volunteer projects in more than 100 countries including the United States. As part of the international voluntary service movement Volunteers for Peace participants work with volunteers from at least four other countries on grassroots-identified projects to enhance local communities.

This unique approach to international volunteering provides intercultural education in a service learning environment. The sharing of everyday life, both with the local community and among the international volunteers, is an integral part of the learning and serving experience.

Short-Term Volunteer Projects~ Most of our volunteer projects last 2-3 weeks, however we do offer a selection of medium and long-term placements. Our two-three week volunteer projects provide participants with the opportunity to experience international voluntary service on a small scale before they join larger organizations such as the Peace Corp. Participants can volunteer with kids, teach English, restore the environment or assist with social projects such as HIV/AIDS awareness.

Affordable International Volunteer Opportunities ~ Volunteers for Peace offers affordable international volunteering opportunities at $300 for a multi-week volunteer project that includes food, accommodation and work materials. Volunteers pay for and arrange their own transportation. As a membership organization Volunteers for Peace also has an annual membership fee of $30.

Volunteer Projects for Teens, Adults and Families ~ Volunteers for Peace offers a wide range of international volunteer opportunities for teens, as well as adults and even families. As part of the International Voluntary Service movement, Volunteers for Peace hosts 40 projects in the United States each year. Since 1982, we have exchanged more than 28,000 volunteers worldwide.
