Why volunteer abroad?

You’ll see first-hand the impact of international volunteering.

As one of North America’s largest international development organizations, Cuso International has over 50 years’ experience recruiting, training and placing volunteers.

A world of change

Our volunteers share skills and experiences with their local colleagues, so their contributions continue long after they return home.

A placement will broaden your perspective on the world and develop the cross-cultural understanding essential for success in a globalized world. In the words of Lineke Heus, who volunteered in Malawi: "Ever since I lived and worked in Malawi, the world has become a different place – because I see it in such a different light. This experience has become part of who I am today and has changed the world forever."
