Orphans Overseas volunteer service trips are short-term trips focused on meeting specific needs in communities in which we work.

Trips can be as short as a local day trip to Community House for yard clean-up and sprucing, or as long as a nine-day overseas trip for orphanage construction, child development staff training, or hands-on interaction with orphaned children in Kenya, Vietnam or China.  

Each trip is designed to give team members an opportunity to serve within their areas of expertise.  Some require only a desire to help someone in need. 

Over the years, hundreds of people have supported our work by volunteering their time and experience to benefit the lives of at-risk children, including: 

• 50 graduating high school seniors provided a summer sports camps for Russian orphans
