About Program

Volunteers For Peace is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982, that offers placement in over 3,000 voluntary service projects in more than 90 countries. Each year we provide almost 1,000 volunteers with invaluable opportunities to strengthen their ability to communicate in diverse groups, explore grassroots leadership opportunities, and build cultural understanding and connections around the world.

FP offers service projects that arise from a grassroots, community based need for adults, teens, seniors, families and groups. Volunteers can choose between Short-Term Projects (Also known as Workcamps) where volunteers from 4 or more countries come together for a 2-3 week service project, or Individual Service Adventures & Gap Year Projects (Also known as Medium Term or Permanent Projects) involve working with VFP to create a personalized 2-week to 1-year experience.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Volunteers For Peace (VFP) for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Irish Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus

Sep 17, 2011

The international volunteers met on the first day of the program in Dublin to learn more about the organization and an overview of what camp would be like. We then spent the night in a hostel before taking the bus to camp the next morning.

We met the Irish staff and volunteers at camp and were given a tour while awaiting the arrival of campers. Camp was a long work day, up at 6am to help campers dress etc then off to breakfast before morning activities, ending about 10pm when campers were put to sleep.

I had a wonderful time and found the staff to be professional and very helpful
