Why Volunteer

More Than a Mission Trip. A Real Relationship.

Volunteering with the GLO Project means working alongside local South African team members and community members who have been doing this work for years. You'll gain an honest, ground-level view of what it looks like to address poverty through dignity, creativity, and long-term investment — not short-term charity.

Whether you spend a week or a month with us, our volunteers consistently tell us it's one of the most formative experiences of their lives. We'd love to have you.

What to Expect

How You'll Spend Your Time

Volunteer days vary based on the season and need, but here's a typical picture of what you'll be doing.

Farm Work

Help with daily operations at our farm locations — planting, harvesting, feeding animals, building infrastructure. No experience needed.

Youth Programs

Join our GLO:Outreach team for after-school sessions and holiday programs. Show up with energy, patience, and a willingness to invest in kids.

Skills-Based Volunteering

Have professional skills to contribute? We welcome those in communications, construction, agriculture, education, or other areas of expertise.
