academic departments, service-learning programs, and student service
organizations to participate in global volunteer projects in a variety of
locations around the world. Projects
involve hands-on volunteer experience and valuable cultural
immersion. Sites include Most projects are 8-17 days but can be
organized for any duration and for any time of the year. All projects
are designed to match the resources and interests of volunteer groups with
local self-development, education, or health care projects planned and
implemented by the local host community and can be complemented with cultural
travel and academic or professional contacts. Projects can be tailored
to construction, general volunteer service, education, engineering, political
science, environmental studies, medical, or many other disciplines. Peacework manages travel, documents,
global liability and personal risk insurance, global medical insurance, all
in-country logistics, materials, supplies, supervision and project planning
with the local host partners, orientation materials, and 24/7 program and emergency
assistance. A complete program detail and budget is provided for each
group before there is any financial obligation. “Please call me at (800)272.5519 if we
can provide more information or if we could provide a presentation for your
department, group, or administration. We can send a power point of our
various project locations and services or we would be delighted to make a
presentation in person. For a survey of our programs, visit www.peacework.org . Global service
specifically related to one's discipline and field of interest can be a
life-changing experience.” Thank you! Stephen Darr, Peacework Program
