We welcome all volunteers – local and international alike, and would love to have you volunteer. But as you may have noticed, our website won’t accept international numbers in any of the phone fields. This is because we need a local number on file in case an emergency arises. Instead, we recommend listing someone in the area – maybe an acquaintance or friend in the US or your hotel or hostel’s number to ensure we have some way of reaching you in an emergency or last minute cancellation. 

Our website allows you to bookmark projects if an opportunity sounds interesting. Simply click the star icon and have the project added to the Bookmarked Projects section of your profile page.
