We offer a range of long-term volunteer opportunities in locations across the globe, ranging from three months to one year. With a variety of community development projects to choose from, long-term volunteering gives you the opportunity to spend as much time in the field as possible – making an impactful difference on your program and in the community in which you volunteer. This is your chance to enhance your skill set, meet new people from around the world, learn a new language, and immerse yourself in a different culture. 

Joining a long-term volunteer program is the ideal choice if you’re looking to gain valuable practical experience in community projects that focus on education, sports, women’s empowerment, early childhood development, construction or public health. 

Our long-term volunteer 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.
