Program Fees

We’re proud of the development model we have developed at ProWorld. 86% of ProWorld volunteer funds go directly back to the field and local community projects, leaving 14% for necessary administrative costs. Your program fee provides you with a life-changing volunteer experience, but that’s not all that it covers. Long-term relationships with our host communities depend on a year-round, onsite staff.  Our onsite team works with the community to develop projects and helps maintain quality programs for all ProWorld participants. 

As a result of our model, ProWorld has contributed in excess of $100,000 directly to community projects and infused over $1,400,000 into our host communities.

Program Dates

Volunteers are needed at all points during the year and can participate in projects ranging from 1-26 weeks. For most countries, volunteers can start the first Saturday of every month (excluding December).

Internships are longer-term and geared towards individuals seeking professional and career development skills. For most countries, internships can range from 1-6 months, but some require a two- to three-month commitment.

Study abroad programs vary depending on the country and host institution, but are offered during the standard Fall, Spring, and Summer semester intervals.
