With a love for humankind and a motivated spirit to help others, A Broader View was created with the belief that one person can make a difference in the lives of others. As a nonprofit organization, the U.S. office is operated by an enthusiastic staff with almost 20 years combined travel and hospitality experience. Community-based projects in countries-in-development allow volunteers to live and work side by side with local people in a range of fields such as orphanage work, day care, community development, teaching and much more. Each volunteer project offers travelers the opportunity to explore a new country while taking part in meaningful, rewarding service work. Gain A Broader View of the world: volunteer your time and efforts to improve the lives of those less fortunate. Each program has customized programs with flexible start dates. You choose when you want to volunteer and for how long. Whether you are traveling solo, with your family, on a spring break, gap year or medical mission, a rewarding volunteer experience will be tailored to your skills and preferences. |
