Since 2000, World Camp has worked in rural schools and street shelters in several countries teaching children about challenging issues that affect their future and communities.
World Camp carries out its mission through a strong volunteer base of individuals committed to helping others as well as experiencing different cultures and countries.
World Camp currently offers volunteer programs in Malawi of Africa, Tela of Honduras and Ahmedabad of India. World Camp teaches HIV/AIDS prevention, nutrition, gender equality, environmental awareness and human rights.
Volunteer
World Camp’s direct, hands-on approach assures that volunteers engage locally challenging issues in an effective and rewarding manner. Unlike many other programs, World Camp does not transfer its volunteers to small community-based organizations or to massive international aid agencies.
Volunteers are trained, hosted, and directed by a professional American staff who work diligently with volunteers to ensure that camps and other projects are efficient and productive.
We have developed a curriculum that empowers young people to make healthy decisions, allowing them to be the positive change their communities so desperately need. World Camp is fixing clear targets on the challenges face in their communities. World Camp is motivating young people to take pride in making healthy decisions for themselves and others.
Young people are the greatest hope we have for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS. Each and every child has a right to knowledge and skills that can reduce their vulnerability. The success of World Camp’s efforts can be attributed to the experiences the World Camp program creates.
The World Camp experience revolves around respecting and involving young people while at the same time being sensitive to their respective culture. World Camp aims to create safe and supportive environments integrating a gender perspective, while addressing risk, vulnerability, prevention, and support.
