ETA4 relies 100% on its volunteers to keep the mission of a more connected world alive. As an all-volunteer organization, we cannot make the dream of education for all a reality without the help of people like you. Read below for some information on how to become a volunteer.

Volunteer Information

ETA4 volunteers are a committed bunch: They not only give up their summer to go and help others, they also help ETA4 reach its annual fundraising goals. Volunteering with ETA4 is FREE, as long as you:

1. Supply your own plane ticket; ETA4 will, however, gladly help you in various ways to fundraise for the flight. Ask us how. Housing, food, and other necessary teaching materials will be provided for you during the program.

2. Be active!!! Come out to our events in your area. They are a lot of fun, you can meet the other volunteers, and most importantly, help us raise awareness about ETA4.

3. Have an open mind. Through your experience traveling with ETA4, you'll experience new things, see new places, and meet new people. It is vital that you remain open to all that is in front of you.
