Cuso International is an international development organization that works to reduce poverty and inequality through the efforts of skilled volunteers. We place people of all ages who collaborate with local groups on projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. We provide financial support that allows people to enjoy a modest but healthy lifestyle while they are abroad.

Join us for a seminar with Cuso International’s Outreach and Partnerships officer and alumni volunteer who will share stories of our work around the world. We invite you to watch local partner videos and engage in Q&A on how to start your volunteer journey. Learn what impact you can make to reduce poverty and inequality for those most vulnerable.

Are you committed to eliminating poverty, advocating for human rights, protecting the planet, and creating thriving and resilient communities? Wondering how to build or advance a career in sustainable development? Hear insights on what it takes to lead sustainable development initiatives, tips on breaking into the sector and reflections on the future of sustainable development. In this panel, sector leaders will share reflections and insights on their volunteer and career journeys, ways to contribute towards global sustainable development, and why it matters now, more than ever.
