The Philippines is a stunning archipelago of over 7,000 islands, known for its secluded beaches, pristine coves, vibrant marine life, world-class diving, surfing, hiking, and breathtaking turquoise waterfalls. Island hopping is a top attraction, with each island offering its own unique charm. Despite this natural beauty, the Philippines faces significant economic challenges and remains one of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia—where volunteering can make a meaningful impact. Volunteer with IVI for authentic, affordable, and life-changing experiences in the Philippines. With over 35 years of experience as a registered charity and non-profit organization, we are deeply committed to supporting communities in need. Our projects serve underprivileged communities across the Philippines. Opportunities include nutrition and medical outreach, education, animal shelter assistance, construction, programs supporting street children, and more.

Join us for the adventure of a lifetime! Volunteers For Peace (a Vermont-based nonprofit) can place you on a team of international volunteers who contribute to a meaningful community service project designed, planned, and hosted by local partners. We offer the most affordable projects and the best way to meet people from all over the world. Work project types vary by country but may include environmental and wildlife conservation, historic preservation, educational and language learning, archaeology, organic farming, and arts and festivals. We also have social services projects, which could involve working with children, the elderly, or refugees. Projects are designed to combine service with recreational activities and cultural exchange – whether by visiting local beaches, learning local dances, meeting local officials, or volunteering with residents at the place you’re visiting. Each project is unique, but all bring people together for the most meaningful travel experience imaginable. Please note that VFP can only place US Citizens. This is due to our agreements with our international partners.

The Philippines is composed of more than 7000 islands encompassing diverse terrains and landscapes – from rice fields to megacities and from beaches to volcanoes. The country boasts awe-inspiring beauty and a plethora of natural resources, but also startling poverty. Our program site is in the province of Nueva Ecija, about 100 miles from Manila. The people of this community are neglected and marginalized in terms of social development. As a result, they live in poverty. Women, children, and the disabled bear the effect of massive poverty, and it is to this particularly needy population that we direct our efforts. At Globe Aware, we offer work projects geared toward: Education assistance for children with disabilities Repair/construction of houses for families of the disabled Reforestation Repair or construction of basic housing and sanitation buildings
