- England
About Program
Volunteers for Peace offers placements throughout Great Britain for as little as $500 per year. Choose to volunteer anywhere from two weeks up to an entire year on one of our social or environmental projects.
VFP offers service projects that arise from a grassroots, community based need by partnering with local non-profit organizations throughout Great Britain. Volunteers can choose between Short-Term Projects, where volunteers from 4 or more countries come together for a 2-3 week service project, or Individual Adventures & Gap Year Projects which involve working with VFP staff to create a personalized experience anywhere from one month to an entire year.
In England we work with local non-profits including Volcare, the Cyrenians, and national park conservation teams. We offer social projects in which volunteers work with handicapped individuals, the elderly, or disadvantaged youth. We also offer environmental projects including forest conservation and historic site conservation.
