Bright Light Volunteers International

Bright Light Volunteers enriches the communities it serves, and the students who serve those communities.

Bright Light Volunteers is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, designed to empower program participants and community partners through education and service. Our programs adhere to global service-learning best practices, which combine community service with both experiential learning in the field and online coursework through our university partner. Our vision is to make the world a brighter place by creating a more peaceful, just, interconnected world where global challenges and opportunities are met by educated, compassionate, global citizens and leaders.

Our Needs

Bright Light Volunteers is currently in need of strategic partnerships within the community to help promote and spread our mission to provide inclusive & comprehensive global service learning opportunities for students.

Supporting the global education of young people in low-income communities can ensure that the next generation is ready to lead as the doctors, engineers, and first responders during the next crisis. Local people with local knowledge, harnessing the power of education to solve problems, is one of the greatest defenses to employ during a crisis. Students need opportunities to develop an understanding of economic, cultural, political and environmental influences in order to 'compete' in an ever-changing world and job market. Global education goes beyond traditional education and helps students develop the skills, attitudes and values which enable people to work together to bring about change and take control of their lives.
