Long-term Volunteering Information for Non-U.S. Citizens

If you are a citizen of a country other than the United States, please contact the SCI branch or partner organization in your country of residence to apply for projects in the United States or elsewhere in the world. The branch in your country will initiate and support your application process.

To find the appropriate organization, please use the SCI Branch Locator.

If you are unable to find an SCI organization in your country, or if you do not receive a response within one week, please contact the SCI Long-Term Exchange Group at lteg@scimail.org. When writing, be sure to include the following information:

  • Your country of citizenship

  • Whether you found an SCI organization in your country, and the date you contacted them

  • The project you are interested in

Providing this information will help ensure your inquiry is handled as efficiently as possible.
