Volunteer Testimonials:

• by Sherry Ann S. (February 26, 2014) - The Worldview Project is a great organization for someone that wants to learn new skills and meet people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. The volunteers are passionate, fun loving, foodies with great stories to share. The office is a place to gain new insights and perspectives on various issues affecting the local San Diego community. Whatever your passions and interests may be, let The WVP help to foster your talents.
• by Uma M. (May 9, 2025) - The Worldview Project is a wonderful place to volunteer. I had a great time with Tom and the small, intimate team he manages. If you're interested in learning about and helping spread awareness of local cultural events, this is the place for you! The work is meaningful and not too difficult, and since the team is small you can wear many different hats. I got to work on my communication skills, while still having fun creatively and learning lots about running an organization like this.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to create a world where diverse cultures thrive together in harmony. Together, we can build bridges, inspire change, and make a lasting impact on our communities and the world. Join us at The Worldview Project today!
