Founded in 1948 our aim is to promote friendship and cultural understanding through volunteering. Anyone, aged 18-80, with a desire to support those in need in New York for eight weeks over a summer, can apply to join the programme.

We have helped many volunteers to experience challenging, exciting and fun placements in two of the most inspiring cities in the world! By taking part you'll gain great experience, develop your skills, and most of all, you'll come home with new friends and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
