Global Volunteers established in 1984, is a nonprofit organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Global Volunteers mobilizes short-term volunteers on direct community service projects worldwide through volunteer vacations. Global Volunteers is one of a few non-sectarian, nonprofit, international volunteer organizations to hold special consultative status with the UN.[1]
According to an interview in People magazine, Global Volunteers was founded by a husband and wife team, Bud Philbrook and Michele Gran on the basis that such individual cross cultural experiences are "the foundation for peace-building relationships, one person at a time.”[2]
Global Volunteers takes on many types of projects and ensures benefit to the communities the projects serve by consistently bringing back volunteers time after time. [3]
