What is Global Village?
Global Village volunteer trips offer more than just the opportunity to swing a hammer. Through Global Village, you can volunteer abroad with us in nearly 30 nations, experiencing the country like a local, with the locals.
We have various opportunities depending on your area of interest, including building one house or many houses at a time, advocating for policy while building, disaster recovery, minor and major home repairs, energy efficiency projects, working with vulnerable populations like children or the disabled, and also trips just for women.
