International Volunteer Program


Make a difference in the world!

Have you dreamed of traveling to another country, going beyond the tourist sites and making a meaningful contribution to society?

Do you want to wake up and know that by the day’s end you will have made a difference in the world?

Have you ever thought about dedicating your professional knowledge and skills to the movement to end poverty housing?

If you answered yes to any of the above, welcome to Habitat for Humanity’s International Volunteer Program!

Join our long-term international volunteer program

Since its inception, Habitat for Humanity has relied on the commitment, spirit and expertise of volunteers to fuel its mission. The International Volunteer Program gives you the opportunity to serve with one of our overseas offices for several months.

This program is not to be confused with Habitat’s Global Village program, which provides short-term two-week volunteer trips.

The International Volunteer Program will:

  • Engage you in the international movement for decent housing for everyone.
  • Empower you to help make a difference for Habitat for Humanity around the world.
  • Enhance your experience with Habitat for Humanity.
