HELP LIBERIA FOUNDATION

Information for volunteers

Most of our goals are realized through the participation of individuals and institutions who decide to work as volunteers for Help Liberia Foundation. We are very grateful to our many volunteers for their deep commitment to the cause for which we stand. The interesting thing is that we do not treat our volunteers as “strangers,” but as an integral part of the organization. Their commitment is part of our assets.

There is no limit to the number of individuals or institutions that may work as volunteers for Help Liberia Foundation, as there are many different programs to be carried out. You may become a volunteer worker by engaging in one, or a combination, of the following activities:

   crusades/teaching, etc
10. Working as a missionary to Liberia for a limited amount of time, working with local churches and schools, training local Bible teachers and preachers and conducting Bible classes and evangelism

NOTE to Those Wanting to Be Volunteers in Liberia: While it is true that the Foundation needs volunteers to help Liberia in different capacities, we wish to clarify that the Foundation is NOT, at this point, in the position to bear the costs (allowances, transportation, accommodation, etc.) associated with the volunteer's work. HLF will highly encourage volunteers who are in the position to entirely fund their volunteer work to please contact the Foundation, clearly stating their areas of interest.
