This was my first time leaving the US, and volunteering abroad. I’ve known about IVHQ since 2018 and had to undergo some personal character development before I finally rose to the occasion. And I’m so happy I went with IVHQ! They prepared me well so I didn’t have any surprises on my trip and during my volunteer time. Even though I felt nervous, as first-times usually are, the preparation I had was key to my success. The experience was so enlightening, life-changing, and touching. Everyone I volunteered with was an amazing human being.. I felt immediately connected to them. I highly recommend volunteering with IVHQ for US citizens as it’s not commonplace like it is in Germany or Spain for high school graduates to volunteer abroad, and they are very helpful not only to the volunteers, but to so many needy communities all over the globe. I am already planning another trip next year.
