Projects Abroad Values
Our programs are about two things more than anything else, making a contribution and understanding a new culture first hand. This second point is invaluable in the perspective on the real world that you gain through our programs.
When Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 it aimed to bridge a gap with Eastern Europe that had grown over the Cold War through suspicion and propaganda. Being able to understand another country’s point of view, beliefs, and issues is a wonderful gift to have.
All our staff in the US and Canada have lived and volunteered overseas. When volunteers talk to us they are talking to people who have been through the same experiences. We are proud of the volunteering we did and enthusiastic in helping new volunteers make the most of their time away.
Ultimately we want volunteers to be proud of their experiences and come through them feeling the programs are worthwhile, constructive, and sustainable, something Projects Abroad strives for every day in every developing country we work in.
