My Nonprofit Reviews

Bright Light Volunteers changed my life! I have volunteered abroad with this organization twice so far. Volunteering abroad really puts poverty into perspective. Global poverty is plaguing our world, and Bright Light Volunteers are helping, one program at a time. During my time volunteering with this organization, my team and I helped farm for local communities, taught English and art to children, donated supplies, and acted as United States Ambassadors, strengthening relationships and bridging cultural divides. I believe all high school students should be given the opportunity to serve abroad so they come back with a greater understanding of their place in the world. Bright Light Volunteers understands that the youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, and with some background knowledge in global service learning, they will be well-informed on how to lead us into the future!

Bright Light Volunteers takes care of everything with a minimal program donation. Program participants have no surprise expenses or expectations. They provide safe, comfortable accommodations in local home stays, giving their volunteers a chance to immerse themselves in the culture of the host families. The food is authentic and plentiful. Cultural excursions are relevant to the learning experience. And the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

I've researched others, and Bright Light Volunteers is THE best service learning, volunteer abroad organization out there!
