Use your skills to make a real contribution

Sharing your knowledge, skills and energy with others makes a huge difference. Our placements are carefully designed with everyone from governments to local community groups to make sure you pass on the right skills to the right people.

This way, people can lift themselves out of poverty, and stop relying on others. And you'll change the lives of many, many people.

Join us and see just how much of a difference you could make
