General Info

The Global Volunteer Network (GVN) offers volunteer service opportunities in community projects throughout the world. GVN is a non profit organization connecting people with communities in need.

We currently provide volunteer programs through our partner organizations in 21 countries throughout South America, Africa and Asia.

Our vision is to support the work of local community organizations in developing countries through the placement of international volunteers. We believe that local communities are in the best position to determine their needs, and we provide volunteers to help them achieve their goals.

GVN currently has volunteer positions available through our partner organisations in Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, USA, and Vietnam.

Fundraising Treks are also available to Mt Everest, Mt Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu. Participants taking this hiking challenge then visit the projects their funds support.

A Youth Tour for 15 - 17 year olds gives teens an opportunity to experience volunteering in a safe environment.
