Volunteer with Volunteers For Peace

VFP is a Vermont non-profit membership corporation with tax exempt status (501 (c) (3), as determinated by the IRS. We are located at 1800 feet in the Green Mountains of Vermont, a mile out on a dirt road with fiber optics in the village of Belmont within the Town of Mt. Holly. VFP is an Executive Committee member of the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS) at UNESCO and works in cooperation with Service Civil International (SCI), the Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organizations, and International Youth Action for Peace (YAP).

The history of International Voluntary Service dates back more than 85 years. Our office staff, Board, Advisory Board and thousands of volunteers in the field help to facilitate these projects. Within the CCIVS network, over 100,000 volunteers are exchanged annually. In 2006, VFP exchanged over 1000 volunteers with our partners abroad.

Our services include providing consultation to past, present and future volunteers. We also serve as a placement service for project hosts and volunteers, linking people with projects. Our projects foster international education, voluntary service and friendship. Over the past 25 years we have exchanged over 25,000 volunteers in international projects world-wide. more
