Glimpse Correspondents Program
This is an exciting opportunity for VFP writers, photographers, and videographers going abroad this fall. Glimpse is a new National Geographic platform -- in print and online -- about real life abroad. It features stories by young Americans that delve beneath the surface of global cultures and day-to-day living overseas. As a Glimpse Correspondent, you will receive a $600 stipend, a professional editor, and the opportunity to be published in National Geographic Glimpse.

SEVEN (Senior European Volunteers Exchange Network) is now online! In this website senior volunteers (age 55 and up) will find a database that gathers and shows the senior International Voluntary Service Projects with the IVS Network.
Volunteer Quote & Photo of the Month
Kleber Delgado ~ Brazil ~ December 2007
"My experience as an English teacher in the community center...was one filled with many different experiences. All of them were very rewarding and educational for me and the students. It was a great opportunity to have an intercultural experience and to learn from each other."
