Be the change you wish to see in the world -Gandhi |
"From my experience, I gained an understanding of my responsibility to serve because I can, because I have been blessed to have the resources to turn away from my and my family's immediate needs and look outward. I never expected to gain such a pressing understanding of my need to serve. I never expected to meet people who were so much "better" than I am, who had so much to teach me of compassion, of self sacrifice and of hope. I feel that I was literally healed by the people of El Salvador as they changed my perspective and expectations." -Natalie Brown, El Salvador 2007 |

The application for prospective volunteers is available for download below. Applications may also be requested via mail/email. All volunteers must submit an application and two letters of recommendation to be considered for a HELP International program.
In addition to the application and letters of recommendation, each applicant should write a brief letter of intent outlining his/her motivation for serving with HELP International and what he/she hopes to get out of the experience.
Applications are generally considered on a first-come first-serve basis, and spaces for volunteers that do not speak Spanish are limited.
Once your application, letters of recommendation, and letters of intent have been received by the HELP International staff, we will review the materials and notify you of your acceptance.
Applicants should be aware that there is a program fee of $2750. click here for most information on program costs
After volunteers have been accepted they will be sent a packet of forms and instructions to begin preparing for their volunteer experience with HELP International. If you have any questions regarding the application process, please call the HELP office (801) 374-0556.

Donate online through Network for Good:
Please understand that HELP International is not affiliated with the Network for Good. Network for Good is a charity designed to help and support small nonprofit organizations with online collections. We believe their service is very valuable to us, however you should know that they will retain 3% of your total donation to help cover the expense of credit card transactions. We find that for small and medium sized transactions this is very reasonable. Hence, if you are making a $1,000 donation, HELP International will only receive $970. The tax receipt that we send you will only cover the net donation that we receive. By printing a receipt from Network for Good, you may, however, deduct 100% of your donation from your personal taxes. If you are making a large contribution to the organization, we encourage you to contact the office or mail us a personal/company check to avoid any processing fees. This fee applies to phone-in credit card transactions as well.
Network for Good will allow you to make a donation to us on behalf of a volunteer or to specific projects. If you are donating to a specific project, please indicate that project or country in the "Designation" box. If you are making a contribution to help one of our volunteers, please indicate the name of the volunteer in the "Dedication" box.
