We have a place for you to make a difference and experience Romania as a "non-tourist." Join over 28,000 volunteers as a member of a Global Volunteers team. One-, two- and three-week service programs available.
No matter the circumstances of their birth, infants, toddlers and teens understand the nurturing touch and kind words of a caring adult. Deserving children in our Romanian host communities eagerly await your help today.
Nothing says "love" like a child's smile! In our host community of Barlad, you can help feed and care for babies who arrive at a pediatric hospital shortly after birth. Each day, volunteers stimulate, love and nurture them in a way a parent would. Just playing with these children will make a huge difference in their lives. And you will benefit from the healing smiles and warm hugs of your small charges.
We work through three local institutions striving to improve young Romanians' lives. St. Nicholas Childrens' Hospital cares for for underweight, disabled and abandoned babies. Child Protective Services manages many different facilities providing providing safe and stimulating environments for at-risk children throughout Vaslui County. Additionally, we work through Vaslui Department of Education to assist primary and secondary school teachers and students as opportunities arise to teach conversational English in classrooms and small groups.
