About Program

Volunteers For Peace is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982, that offers placement in over 3000 voluntary service projects in more than 100 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.

VFP 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.

In September 2013 I volunteered with Workamp Switzerland through Volunteer's for Peace. The work camp was an amazing cultural experience. We stayed in a cabin on the Jura Mountains in Switzerland, we hosted an Art Gallery and worked with local children around the Solothurn area. It was truly a remarkable experience.

What would you improve about this program?

Financially, this program was costly. But, Switzerland/US exchange range is to blame.
