Who Volunteers on Volunteer Programs?
Ideally people of all ages and from all walks of life can provide a valuable service. Volunteers need no language or professional qualifications for participation on volunteer programs. While many of our team members are students, the average age is about 24. Volunteers typically share common characteristics such as flexibility, compassion, a sense of adventure, and most importantly, the desire to work with and learn from local people in the host community. Volunteers are drawn from all occupations and backgrounds, and from throughout the world, mainly from the U.S, Canada and the U.K. Approximately 60 percent of volunteers are women. Each volunteer selects a program that best employs their experience and interests, and a program where the volunteer feels engaged in a community project of lasting benefit. Volunteers must be in good health and have the mental and physical capability to function as a team member.
