About us
Nepal Volunteers and Cultural Youth Exchange Program (NVCYE Program) is a non-profit organization registered with the social welfare Council of Nepal government. It was established in 2004 with the aim of empowering local communities to implement and organize community development, education and conservation projects. Since its establishment, it has been running volunteers program in Nepal for the development of the community and cultural exchanges. NVCYE offers year-round Nepal volunteer program in the area of teaching, orphanage, conservation and health. Our focus thus far has been primarily on community development and conservation projects. Though our central office is situated in Kathmandu, our work is presently scattered throughout 6 out of 75 districts in Nepal. NVCYE Program is a non-profit organization and receives no government support or major corporate backing. Therefore, it depends on the generosity of volunteers and contributors to promote its program in different parts.
