Projects in Europe, North America, Australia & Japan
International Volunteer Projects are a unique form of volunteering, bringing together people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds to live and work together on short-term projects with local communities.
The projects are designed to assist and encourage local initiatives that will be continued when the volunteer project is completed. The projects help these groups in their long-term work for a more just and peaceful society. The projects also aim to break down barriers between people and to develop international understanding.
