About Program
Planet Aid, in collaboration with Richmond Vale Academy (RVA), is seeking passionate and motivated individuals to join the People to People Volunteer Program. This unique 10-month program offers the chance to make a real impact by addressing global issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. Volunteers are trained to become effective change agents by working hand-in-hand with local communities to support sustainable development.
Program Structure:
- Training (3 Months): Volunteers will fly to RVA in St. Vincent and the Grenadines where they will train and prepare for their project work.
- Project Work (6 Months): Live and work on long-term community projects in Malawi or Zambia.
- Reflection at Evaluation (1 Month): Volunteers return to RVA in St. Vincent and the Grenadines where they will reflect and share about their experiences.
Project Start Dates: April and October

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

Program Impact
As a participant in the People to People Volunteer Program, you are expected to maintain a high standard of conduct that reflects the values of the program and the communities we serve. This includes a strict no-drugs, no-marijuana, and no-alcohol policy throughout the entire duration of your time in the program. Staying sober is essential to ensure safety, well-being, and the integrity of the program. We ask all participants to commit to this policy, as it is key to maintaining a professional and supportive environment for all involved.
Note: Volunteers must be committed to the full 10-month program and have the flexibility to travel and adapt to new cultural environments.
