Short Term Volunteering with GVI
GVI offer a variety of short term volunteering projects that allow individuals with little time to spare the opportunity to assist critical conservation and community development programs round the world.
You will find our range of short term teaching English, wildlife and community projects have been carefully developed to ensure projects still receive long term support through GVI’s existing field structure. Thus you can volunteer from as little as one week and upwards knowing that your hard work will continue well after you have gone home.
