Volunteering Abroad
The University of Louisville abides by these guiding principles and practices for volunteer abroad activities. The International Volunteer Programs Association (IVPA) is a nonprofit accrediting body dedicated to promoting awareness and access to quality volunteer aboard programs. Take a moment to look at the Volunteer International’s Standards concerning volunteering principles and practices: http://volunteerinternational.org/why-standards-2/. You should research your proposed program to ensure that it follows these principles and practices before proceeding.
