Volunteer Globally from your home, while learning the valuable skills of our Human Resources Division. 

Learning the basics of Human Resources is a skill we all need in society. Whether within our family or a large institution. Organizing efforts and processes to help meet challenges, while keeping folks motivated and uplifted involves practical skills as well as psychology. A great place to learn and practice the various components of effective leadership is in any Human Resourse Division. 

Whether volunteering an hour a month or an hour a day, whether experienced or new; your help is needed in our Human Resources. Meet many people from diverse cultures and socio- economic backgrounds globally, while helping children & communities seeking a brighter future. 

IHF is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization that strongly believes in an equal opportunity for all and in preserving the cultures, traditions and beliefs of  marginalized communities. Half of International Humanity Foundation’s (IHF) mission is to educate impoverished and challenged children and marginalized communities while learning from them. The other half is to educate adults from all socio economic backgrounds on how to start their own nonprofit or direct in one. Thereby passing it on and giving collective voice to voiceless.     

While basic level English is the common language used by volunteers online, IHF advocates for the preservation and promotion of all languages. 

IHF believes in slow quiet growth with deep roots. Ihf believes there are many amazing children and adults who want to learn and to help the world be a better place if given the opportunity. Our over twenty years as a successful  volunteer organization proves this.
