With a variety of short-term volunteer opportunities available all over the world, individuals, families or groups can make the most of their time abroad. Our short-term volunteer programs range in duration from 1 to 24 weeks – even if you only have a week or two, you can still turn your travel experience into something meaningful. Make a lasting impact working on a sustainable community development project, or choose a volunteer program specialising in early childhood development, education, women’s empowerment, sports, construction or public health. 

Our projects are driven by a core mission: positive impact. GVI is committed to sustainable, meaningful change alongside both our local project participants and our global partners.

Being part of a short-term volunteer program gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse global cultures while working in breathtaking locations across four continents: Africa, Asia, Australasia and Latin America.
