Country Information

Moldova is a landlocked nation in Eastern Europe, located between Romania and the Ukraine. In this small and beautiful country, Romanian and Russian influences meet creating a fascinating environment for culture lovers. Despite an economic growth rate of 7%, the country still has the undesired title of the poorest in Europe. Volunteers in Moldova can help by making a positive contribution to local projects and communities.

United Planet and the ICYE Federation

For six months to one year, you can experience a life-changing program in one of over 30 countries across the globe. United Planet is the U.S. and Canadian member of the International Cultural Youth Exchange (ICYE) Federation , founded in 1949.  Through their vast network and 60 years of experience, United Planet and ICYE offer a wide range of programs for volunteers from around the world.

Who can apply?

Volunteers must be 18 years of age to participate in the Moldova Quest. United Planet can send volunteers who are citizens of the United States and Canada or those who are currently living in the U.S. and Canada.  Citizens and residents of other countries must contact the ICYE partner in their home country. United Planet can send people from any country to our Short-term Quest locations for 1-12 week programs.  Some of our short-term volunteer placements can be extended for longer stays.  Please contact us for more information about volunteering with United Planet.
