Arm-In-Arm Volunteers is a Canada-based international non-profit organization that provides safe, effective, and responsible volunteer opportunities through partner organizations in developing countries at very reasonable rates. These opportunities are suitable for individuals, families, or groups from privileged countries who are interested in international development, social justice, cross-cultural experience, or volunteer vacation.
We currently have inspiring projects in several countries with dedicated in-country teams to welcome, supervise, and see to your welfare and ensure safe and meaningful experiences.
Whether you are a student, professional, career breaker, retiree, missionary, or taking a gap year and looking to contribute by way of sharing skills, experiences, and resources in fields such as education, caregiving, environment, agriculture, women empowerment, sports for social change, or a customized project tailored to meet your particular interest, AIAV is able to help.
Our programs have been designed to allow plenty of free time to socialize and to explore all the wonderful things these countries have to offer.
