Most Global Volunteers service programs are managed by on-site staff who live in the communities we serve. However, in a few places, including Hungary, Global Volunteers USA staff and volunteer team leaders manage programs by traveling to and from the host community with the volunteer team.

All our USA staff and volunteer team leaders are trained and experienced in managing diverse groups of people. All team leaders have led teams to different program locations. In fact, some have managed 20 or more Global Volunteers service programs around the world! In addition, they have all completed our intensive team-leader training seminar. Further, all our team leaders are evaluated by the volunteers on each program, and must achieve an established level of performance in order to continue leading Global Volunteers teams.

You'll receive contact information for your Hungary team leader approximately four weeks before your service program begins.
