Global Volunteer

Service Trips

Hands-on Learning.

The best way to learn from service is to serve. The Building Bridges Series is an ongoing and diverse set of supervised global volunteer experiences, integrated with internet-based instruction, to ensure that you learn while you serve. Each Building Bridges experience is designed to help us grow as global citizens and professionals.

A Building Bridges Experience
  • Is a short-term, hands-on, global volunteer opportunity
  • Is tailored for a specific life stage or personal/professional interest
  • Includes online learning to ensure you prepare for, and benefit from, your volunteer experience
  • Provides a variety of service opportunities to enhance your experience
  • Works with in-country partners to ensure health, safety, and relevance
