Sometimes we take on large-scale projects, such as playground construction, road repair, home renovation or water system installation. We always work under the direction of local project managers who budget for and guide us in making the greatest contibution with our volunteer labor and project funding. Those with specialized skills -- carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other trades people -- are needed to volunteer in host communities who can't afford their services.

Many of these improvements wouldn't be possible without Global Volunteers' help. Here's where you can employ your expertise, learn new skills, instruct others, or polish up your "handyman" talent! Leave a lasting contribution in a worthy community and make a significant difference in the life of others. Back one page.
