Testimonials:

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.-Uma M.

I joined the Worldview Project in February 2024, and it has been an incredibly rewarding cultural exchange experience. Working alongside people from diverse backgrounds has allowed us to share perspectives, support one another, and grow together. One of the highlights of this experience has been working with the Executive Director, Tom Johnston-O’Neill. His kindness, insight, and deep knowledge have made a lasting impression and made every day on the project both inspiring and enjoyable.-Shenrui Y.
