  Social Welfare Volunteer Opportunities

  People all over the world are suffering from social injustices, and every country approaches their problems with unique policies. Our ABV Volunteers' social work programs abroad can bring you a fresh perspective of how to approach things and a better knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. Our volunteer programs help you develop upon your understanding of international social welfare problems, policies, and programs.

  ABV Volunteers can use their unique skill set to combat problems in the community head-on in a way that can have a global impact. Our social work volunteer programs are based at nonprofit or government organizations that assist with public outreach and education programs or working with individual clients. [show more]
