Volunteer Testimonials:

• by Christa P. (January 5, 2017) - The Worldview Project is a wonderful organization filled with very kind and interesting people from all over the globe. I really enjoyed the 5 months I volunteered here. Not only was I able to pursue my writing interests and make great friends, but I also learnt a lot about the city of San Diego and many world cultures. Executive Director Tom is incredibly welcoming and supportive. As well as office work, there are also great team get-togethers, such as trips to Mexico, Christmas parties and city-wide volunteering events. I highly recommend the experience!
• by Uma M. (May 9, 2025) - The Worldview Project is a wonderful place to volunteer. I had a great time with Tom and the small, intimate team he manages. If you're interested in learning about and helping spread awareness of local cultural events, this is the place for you! The work is meaningful and not too difficult, and since the team is small you can wear many different hats. I got to work on my communication skills, while still having fun creatively and learning lots about running an organization like this.
