Global Leaders in Invention for Social Change Convene
Featured Testimonial
"I
volunteered to help write award nominations for Ashoka Fellows in
Nigeria and Malawi. Due to my interest in Africa, I was encouraged to
reach out to Bart Weetjens, a Fellow in Tanzania, founder of APOPO, an
organization which trains African rats to detect landmines and
early-stage Tuberculosis. I am now working with him in Tanzania
assisting him with donor support for the APOPO project HeroRATS. I hope
to deepen my understanding of the citizen sector and learn more about
how partnerships between public, private and social enterprises can
play a part in creating sustainable solutions to the problems of our
time."

When traveling abroad to volunteer, you should be prepared to cover both travel and living expenses, and feel comfortable in sometimes rustic and unfamiliar environments. We recommend that you clarify all expectations and arrangements before making your commitment by using the Volunteer Checklist.
Please note that Ashoka is not a volunteer placement agency and cannot arrange or oversee your travel. That said, we are very happy to make the connections that will make the best use of your interests and skills.
