ProWorld’s mission is to empower communities, promote social and economic development, conserve the environment, and cultivate educated compassionate global citizens.

The ProWorld Service Corps offers profound 2 to 48 week cultural, service, and academic experiences in Peru, Belize, Mexico, India, and Thailand.

We have focused on developing relationships with communities throughout Peru, Belize, Mexico, India, and Thailand since our founding in 1998; building trust and understanding between ourselves and our hosts. Ensured of this strong foundation, our first program began in May of 2000.

Since then, hundreds of students and volunteers have joined us on intern abroad, semester abroad, and group programs in Peru, Belize, Mexi co, India, and Thailand.

While our projects often have modest beginnings, they are remarkably successful, thorough, and perhaps most importantly, all are chosen based on communities’ assessments of their own needs.

In the spirit of collaboration and mutual learning, we will continue to unite our volunteers with Peruvian, Belizean, Mexican, Indian, and Thai communities. We believe there is much we can learn from each other and much we can accomplish together.

All of our projects come from communities’ assessments of their own needs and although they often have modest beginnings, they are remarkably successful and thorough.

ProWorld teams in Peru, Belize, Mexico, India, Thailand, Brazil and Ghana help assess and then execute the projects year round to ensure sustainable and valuable development for our host communities and volunteers.

These projects are the foundation of every ProWorld program. By joining ProWorld, volunteers become agents of positive change in the lives of others and themselves.

The vital economic support from volunteers’ program fees strengthens the positive impact of hands-on work by volunteers. Program fees pay for volunteer experiences and support our host community economies in the forms of project materials purchases, local salaries, host family payments, and local purchases.

To date, this capital injection by ProWorld and its volunteers to our host communities is over $3.3 million dollars.
