If have questions about the ISV program and would like to talk to someone who has traveled with ISV, we would be happy to put you in touch with some of our alumni who can tell about their amazing experience with ISV. If you would like to connect with an ISV alumnus who has traveled to the same host country, click here to email us (isvalumni@isvonline.org).
With over 20,000 past volunteers, it is astounding to think of the impact ISV has had on shaping the hearts and minds of our future leaders. After completing their ISV program, many of our alumni have reported being so inspired that they have changed the focus of their studies, continued to volunteer in their local community, or even gone on to support ISV Volunteering initiatives through fundraising and financial donations.
As an ISV alumnus, you are part of a wide network of people who share something special – an experience that has changed the world you live in and how you view your world. ISV and our host communities thank you sincerely for your efforts, dedication and energies and encourage you to keep in contact with ISV as you continue to impact your world.
We also encourage you to continue supporting ISV in any way, whether it be through word of mouth promotions, donations of needed goods and equipment, or just joining the chatter on our Facebook page and providing advice to new volunteers who are preparing to depart for their own experience - your assistance is always appreciated!

The children were the best part of my travels. They don't have much, but they are willing to give you anything. The kid's are smiling from the time you wake up until you fall asleep at night. They are so much fun!
