Program Description

Volunteer in Mozambique (6 months, 1 year) with United Planet!

Description

Mozambique offers a fantastic long eastern coastline along the Indian Ocean, making the beautiful ocean easily accessible. The beauty of this country is partnered with the beauty of the people. With 12 different volunteer opportunities, you can help make a difference in the lives of these people, especially the children. A range of programs offers you the chance to work in education, the arts, and community development. Mozambique is referred to as the land of smiles. Help bring more smiles to the people and children of this country.

Highlights

As a long-term volunteer, you will have the exciting opportunity to gain an even deeper understanding and appreciation of a foreign land and culture through humanitarian service, language and inter-cultural training, cultural learning activities, and exploration.

United Planet is the proud US and Canadian partner within the International Cultural Youth Exchange (ICYE) Federation, the oldest long-term volunteering federation in the world. With over 50 years of experience, the ICYE Federation has a proven track record and upholds the highest standards for excellence in serving both the volunteers and the communities involved.

Long-term Quests are available for 6 months and 1 year. Volunteers take part in intensive orientations, mid-year, and final year camps with other volunteer exchanges from all over the world. You do not need any specific skills or language abilities to take part. You will attain new skills, competencies, and broadened global perspectives through your involvement in the long-term quest program!

There are many interesting destinations both in developed and developing countries. You can support children and the disabled in communities throughout France and Italy. You can assist in agricultural, environmental, and community projects in New Zealand, Nepal, and India. You can help with AIDS/HIV programs in Uganda, Russia, Nigeria, and more. You can assist in human rights issues in Brazil, Bolivia, Mozambique, and Lithuania. These are just a few of the many opportunities we offer!

United Planet and the ICYE Federation, as non-profit organizations, are committed to the accessibility of these programs for all. For less than the cost of living independently in many of our program countries, you can participate in a fully supported and well-structured international voluntary exchange program with years of experience. We hope that you will recognize and take advantage of this special opportunity.
