Friends of the Orphans - International Volunteer Program

Do you love children and have a strong desire to serve others? Are you looking for a meaningful way to volunteer that will help advance your career goals? Volunteer for a year with orphaned an abandoned children with Friends of the Orphans at Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos! Friends of the Orphans supports a network of nine Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for "Our Little Brothers and Sisters") homes and their outreach programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Together, we transform the lives of orphaned, abandoned and disadvantaged children by creating families for life through values of unconditional love, shared responsibility and education.

Friends of the Orphans International Volunteers:

• Are 21 or older

• Commit to at least a year.

• Pay for their transportation to and from the host country, as well as health insurance.

• Volunteers do not need to do any additional fundraising. We do require a ($20) background check after a volunteer has been accepted.

• Preference is often given to those who speak Spanish and/or Creole, but we do accept volunteers with weak language skills if the applicant agrees to attend language school prior to beginning service.

NPH volunteers receive:

• Room and board
• A monthly stipend (US $50-$100, depending on the home)
• Access to health care
• Limited time off to explore the host country; usually every other weekend, plus at least 2 weeks vacation.

Successful volunteers are cooperative, flexible and extremely patient. They have strong work ethics and are able to work with people from many different cultures. Our volunteers love working with children, and have experience with children in a variety of settings.
