Volunteer
Pathways to a Sustainable Future Programs provide experiences in seeing how communities struggle to develop in a healthy and sustainable way. Volunteers will learn how to implement creative approaches to hunger eradication and will be able to appreciate how these approaches are often linked to traditional wisdom.
Making new friendships with people from different cultures and backgrounds is part of the program experience and often is what program alumni remember best. If you would like to overcome barriers of distrust and misunderstanding and replace them with relationships of concern and cooperation, please consider sharing this experience with us.
Join us and become someone who can truly make a difference!
