Our mission:

To provide quality volunteer programs that benefit their participants as well as the communities and environments in which they serve.

Everyday, we live up to our mission by placing an emphasis on the following key points:

We link meaningful community projects around the world with dedicated volunteers.
We only work with programs and organizations that are safe, well-organized, and effective.
We believe in diversity; we offer scholarships and other incentives to attract volunteers of differing ethnicities, ages, genders, income levels, and skill sets.
We provide additional opportunities such as excursions and language lessons to deepen your volunteer experience.

Our organization:

BridgeVolunteers is a division of Bridge, an international company that delivers language instruction, teacher training, and translation & interpretation services to thousands of customers across the globe. With just over 50 full time employees and more than 300 teachers & trainers stretched across the globe, Bridge comprises a diverse group of nationalities and cultures.

Bridge's very first volunteer projects were organized for language students at our schools in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile who wanted to enhance their cultural experience while giving back to the community. In response to this demand, we began placing our students in local youth outreach programs, rainforest conservation projects, and volunteer English teaching positions in those countries.

The success of our programs in South America inspired the idea for more varied volunteer projects around the world. Thus BridgeVolunteers was born. Today we are proud to offer more than 25 volunteer projects in locations across the globe, from Argentina to Zambia.
