"Ann's Roadmap helped
me land a job in Micronesia.
...Ann has demonstrated
an uncanny ability to get to the (spiritual?)
heart of the question: "What is it YOU want
to DO?" and then relate the answer to an impressive
list of real and practical opportunities. What
more does one need?!"

fit:
we don't squish you into a 1-size-fits-all slot; we
identify
where
your goals can be fulfilled & where your skills are
most needed.
Note:
ideally your request fits the needs & programs in Africa,
Asia or
the Americas. (Some people
ask for things that only fit back home.)
If
you have a special request, send Questionnaire & CV;
let's discuss
--Great
for everybody: professionals;
trades;
students;
Boomers;
re-tired or
"retreads"; regular folk; families; couples; honeymoons.
--Flexible
schedule:
Volunteer 2 weeks to 20 years.
We will
be rolling out group opportunities on specific dates.
Each volunteer program uses
many skills. So no tight "job descriptions".
Find it on your own?
It's not what you
can find but what & who you know.
Our contacts, broad knowledge
of world affairs, how humanitarian work is organized
& international resources trumps a "find" on the web.
"NGOabroad is a fantastic
service for anyone wanting to work internationally,
be it paid or volunteer work. I was very impressed by
Ann,
her
honest optimism (no sugarcoating but no dire warnings)
and her curiosity about me and my goals as well as her
obvious dedication.
Ann's insight into and
knowledge of the world and non-profit organizations
is invaluable. I now have a much clearer idea of what
opportunities are out there for me and I have a real
understanding of where I can best contribute my skills.
I consider the service
a bargain."
Simone Pfeiffer, Montreal
