We work to restore communities badly affected by material poverty, we teach children, train teachers, mentor youth, conduct vacation bible schools, rebuild areas that have felt the impact of natural disasters, 
develop sustainable agriculture programs, offer outreach to refugees, 
serve those without shelter & seniors, and volunteer in orphanages. 
Our programs are expansive and meet a multitude of needs across the globe.

Note about age requirements: all North American trips (US/Canada/Mexico) are open to participants aged 15 and older. Trips outside of North America are open to non-US participants aged 15 and over (with a few exceptions). US participants must turn 18 within three months of the trip, or, if between the ages of 15 and 18, be accompanied by a chaperone who is over the age of 21. Parents can take children on the trips. The age of the children allowed will depend on the particular program (usually preteen and over; some trips can take slightly younger children).

For the first time this year, some of the international trips outside of North America (Germany, Kenya, Zambia, Philippines, Nepal, Romania) will be open to US participants aged 17 and over (turning 17 within three months of the trip) without a chaperone.

Food Information (Allergies/Intolerance Issues): Our sites are not equipped to prepare special meals based on specific dietary preferences or allergies. The meals should have enough variety that you can pick from what is provided to meet your needs. If you have a serious medical food allergy or cannot tolerate this arrangement, please consider attending our Philadelphia HYC site which has a designated allergy kitchen. If you have issues with gluten or dairy, our sites in Asia and Zambia are better suited for these dietary needs (rice-based diets). Our programs in Europe (Germany and Romania) are not good sites for gluten and dairy issues.


If you still have questions after taking a good look at the website and detailed site descriptions, please contact hvc@hopeww.org or 484-586-3611.
