About Us
Introduction
Volunteers Global is a Sri Lanka-based social enterprise that connects passionate global citizens with meaningful volunteer projects addressing real community and environmental needs.
We operate on a voluntourism model — combining service, cultural immersion, and travel.
Unlike traditional NGOs, we do not depend on donations. Instead, your program fee ensures quality experiences, fair wages for local coordinators, sustainable project funding, and measurable impact.
Every rupee is invested in creating long-term value — for you, for the communities, and for our planet.
Our Mission
At Volunteers Global, our mission is to empower individuals to make a difference by participating in diverse volunteer projects that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aim to foster a spirit of global citizenship and environmental stewardship, promoting sustainable practices and enhancing community resilience. Our programs are designed to provide volunteers with the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to a better world.
Sri Lanka's largest volunteer network
Our Parent Organization: ZeroPlastic Movement
As the volunteer wing of the ZeroPlastic Movement, Volunteers Global benefits from the credibility, experience, and extensive network of Sri Lanka’s leading environmental organization. The ZeroPlastic Movement has been at the forefront of environmental advocacy and action, executing over 1,000 volunteer projects island-wide. These projects range from climate action and community clean-ups to environmental education and sustainable development initiatives. With such a rich history, ZeroPlastic Movement provides the foundation and support needed to ensure all our volunteer projects are impactful and sustainable.
