Use Time Off to Get Inspired and Get Ahead
See the world, live for free, and make an impact while expanding your skills.
You can design your sabbatical to build new skills, gain global experience, and help find - and accelerate - your career path. Increasingly, employers are looking to promote and hire people that take initiative and have global experience, and volunteering overseas can accomplish exactly that (we wrote an article on that here).
Using our matching platform and global support team you can find a place to volunteer your skills, anywhere you want to travel and for any length of time. Our organizations never charge you to volunteer and all provide immersive local benefits.
Experteering is a new way to pool top talent for social good
Expertise fills gaps that would otherwise be untouched
"People looking for volunteering opportunities to use their professional skills in an international capacity but who feel lost in finding a project that does good may have just found their perfect match."
