The Manila, Philippines Team welcomes volunteers to serve children, youth, families, and communities through the Centers of HOPE. During this two-week experience, volunteers will contribute their time, skills, and compassion through community improvement projects, children’s programs, child protection and psychosocial support activities, and livelihood initiatives.

The Center of HOPE Laguna serves a growing urban community of families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Its programs support children and families through child protection, education, nutrition, psychosocial support, and family development. Laguna will host most HVC service activities, including landscaping, painting, repairs, and beautification projects that help create safe, welcoming, and child-friendly spaces.



Each project, activity, and interaction offers an opportunity to serve with compassion, build meaningful relationships, and support children and families. Together, volunteers and local partners will serve, connect, inspire, and transform.
