VE Global (VE) recruits, trains and organizes international volunteers to achieve our mission of fostering the positive development of children at social risk in Chile. VE has successfully integrated over 450 full-time volunteers from more than 35 countries into our partner network of local children’s homes, community centers, schools and preschools in some of the most vulnerable areas of Santiago.
VE Global volunteers help implement our four educational programs: ¡Vamos a Leer!, Festival de Arte, Liga de Deportes and English in Motion. After a comprehensive two-week orientation, volunteers are placed in one of our partner organizations, where they support and mentor children in a variety of ways: assisting with homework, playing games and creating and running their own workshops and activities. Volunteers build strong relationships with the children they support. Most importantly, they provide friendship and the chance to just have fun and be a kid.
VE Global volunteers also play an important role in the VE community as well, helping to keep our program strong by working to improve our educational projects and through helping with communications and development tasks by working on outreach and fundraising efforts. This gives volunteers the opportunity not only to grow and learn professionally at an international NGO, but also to have a sustainable impact on VE Global as an organization. Because of the delicate nature of working with children who have been abused or neglected, we require that our volunteers join our team for a minimum of four months, with a full-time commitment.
VE charges *NO* fee to volunteer. VE Global believes that our entire community can work hard to keep our program running and has a no-fee philosophy. VE charges no application fees and no program fees for participation, but does expect that volunteers contribute to our work by being actively involved in fundraising and development.
