Volunteering as an individual is a life-enhancing experience -- you can explore a new country and culture, make new friends, and meet others who want to do the same. All this is multiplied when you serve with friends and relatives. Why not share your enthusiasm with classmates, student groups or family members?

Organize a group of six or more, obtain special discounts, and magnify your assistance abroad. Some examples of recent Global Volunteers service groups are:
- Eight students caring for displaced children in Brazil
- Six friends working on labor projects in Costa Rica
- A class group of 15 Education students teaching English in Poland
- An extended intergenerational family group caring for Romanian infants
Intact groups of six or more can join any scheduled team with spaces available. Exclusive groups of at least 12 volunteers may select non-published dates or join a formed, public team. Contact a Volunteer Coordinator at 1-800.487-1074 for more information on your options.
