Your Guide to International Volunteer Programs 

The International Volunteer Program connects volunteers from around the world with Habitat for Humanity?s mission. From the beginning, Habitat has relied on the spirit, commitment and expertise of volunteers who carry Habitat?s message and methodology around the world.

Before planing for International Volunteers in your country, it's important to get the basics right! Review the certification process, write position discriptions, identify emergency management plan, review roles and responsibilities and tips for managing the international volunteers in your office.
* Refer to Chapter 3: Toolkit, Section B, page 69 in Volunteer Programs Handbook.
