World Vision volunteers come from all walks of life – from professionals who want to contribute their skills and expertise, to teenagers who want to do something meaningful in their free time, to retirees with a passion to help change lives.

Our volunteers give valuable support to many programmes, contributing their time, talent and energy to help change the lives of children and families living in extreme poverty around the world.

Apart from wanting to work with others to overcome poverty and injustice, people are inspired and motivated to volunteer with World Vision for different reasons:

• Professional services - represent your company and practise corporate social responsibility, or volunteer as a professional individual
• Students - an exciting opportunity to meet other young people or get work experience
• Between jobs - make the best of your free time before starting a new job
• Retirement - make good use of years of experience
• Spare time - use just a few hours a week to get involved in something worthwhile
