As a Mir Pace volunteer, you will be making a meaningful contribution, working side-by-side with the local people who desperately need you and who warmly welcome you.
You will experience another culture like never before, and gain new perspectives and insight into its people and yourself.
Not only will you be introduced to poverty and its tragic effects on so many populations worldwide, but we also strive to help you discover the profound and positive impact you can make in service to others.
Your Mir Pace volunteer experience is an exciting and empowering way for you to be a beacon of light, love, and service to the poor.
You will also meet like-minded teens from across the country and friendships will develop that last a lifetime!
