Activities and Responsibilities:
Volnepal Projects provide a great opportunity to visit Nepal and help Nepalese communities while gaining knowledge and cultural experience that cannot be done elsewhere.
We run different volunteer programs in Nepal. We currently offer year round volunteer programs in the areas of teaching English in schools, orphanages, MedicalInternships, Women, Research and Outreach. We are also able to conduct Short term training, conferences, workshops, and Community Development Programs.

Benefits to Participants:
A "volunteer" is anyone who, without compensation or expectation of compensation beyond reimbursement, performs a task at the direction of and on behalf of the agency. A "volunteer" must be officially accepted and enrolled by The Volnepal prior to performance of the task. Unless specifically stated, volunteers shall not be considered as "employees" of Volnepal.
Required Skills and Training:
We do not ask for any formal qualifications from our volunteers. All we ask is that you have a genuine desire to help people and are willing
to experience our culture and lifestyle. We do try to work with specialized skills when and where appropriate.
Volunteer training will vary according to the volunteer's position. All volunteers must attend an orientation with the Volunteer Coordinator. After the orientation, the Volunteer Coordinator will make an evaluation to determine how best to utilize a volunteer's time and skills. Virtual volunteers will receive written instruction from their respective supervisor regarding their duties. Volunteers are encouraged to explore multiple areas of Volnepal's volunteer opportunities as their time and experience allow.
Additional Information:
Our partner schools, orphanages, hospitals and restoration projects are all locally staffed. This leaves the students, families, and individuals in need with very limited exposure to the world outside of Nepal, thus their worldview is restricted. With volunteers from foreign countries, they get a chance to enlarge their view of the world. Direct interaction helps studies to become more interesting. Also, most of the students are weak in English conversation. English is now the #1 international language and a common means of business communication.
