Volunteering creates global citizens. When a diverse group of individuals comes together to achieve a common goal, the impacts are astounding. One person may not be able to eradicate long-standing global issues like climate change or malnutrition. Yet, volunteering abroad creates opportunities for conversations among cultures to come together to explore long-term and sustainable solution

Perhaps one of the most impactful benefits of volunteering is the resulting ability to see the world from a new perspective. Volunteering helps us to reframe our thinking around some of the challenging issues the world is facing. Joining a project is only the start. The people you meet, the experiences you have, the things you learn – these all carry into your life afterward and help shape you into a global citizen.
