Volunteers For Peace offers placement in international volunteer projects in more than 100 countries including popular destinations such as volunteering in France, India, Italy, Peru and Kenya. 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 improve local communities.Our short-term projects are known also as International Workcamps.

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 International Volunteer Projects
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 Volunteering
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.

International Volunteering for All Ages
Volunteers for Peace is committed to volunteering at any age. We offer international teen volunteer projects, as well as family volunteer projects in addition to our adult volunteer opportunities. 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.
