Global Volunteers enables students across the U.S. to learn about and support children of all ages in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. Through classroom and child sponsorships, students can provide school materials, games, toys, and uniforms for children who might not otherwise be able to attend school. Become a Contributing Classroom and bring the realities of these children's lives directly into your classroom. Ask your students to commit to raising $500 for one or more children in our sponsorship countries as a school-wide challenge, or a project for one class or committee. Establish a classroom or school goal. Decide to support a school-aged child, pre-schooler, or group of children in a country that interests your class. You might include this project as part of a civics, world history, language, religion, or international relations class or a service-learning program. Even grade-schoolers can respond to this appeal!

Complete a Sponsorship Form Now Once your sponsorship is finalized, we'll enable you to follow the progress of your sponsored child(ren) throughout the year. Raise $500 per sponsored child per year. For a class of 35 students, each student can commit to raising $15 per sponsored child. Several classes can join together to sponsor more than one child. We'll supply fundraising support materials to help make this a fun part of the project. Do you have additional questions? Please call us at (800) 487-1074.
