Village Volunteers is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Seattle that helps students find meaningful volunteer or internship opportunities with one of our partner organizations in Kenya, Ghana, India or Nepal. We work closely with each student to provide a placement matches their academic and professional goals. Our partner NGOs are lead by talented and inspirational community leaders who are making a difference at the grassroots level and we invite international volunteers to join them in finding sustainable solutions to community challenges.
Around the world, youth and women face specific obstacles that can make daily life especially stressful. Without an appropriate outlet, these experiences can take a toll on self-confidence.
Village Volunteers partners with community-based organizations in Africa and Asia that help youth and women work through challenges and build self-esteem, in safe, confidential and non-judgmental environments.
Through talk therapy, art therapy, writing, drama exercises, and other techniques, these programs allow youth and women to develop an understanding of their emotions and sense of self-worth.
Village Volunteers offers an immersive, meaningful, and safe internship or volunteer opportunity tailored to meet students goals and academic requirements on a students budget. Let us work with you to create an ideal placement.
