1) Increase Your Employment Opportunities Such global working and living experience will help you build up your resume and stand out from the rest. Potential employers admire the tenacity it takes for someone to leave their comfort zone and challenge themselves. Knowledge of a second language or a foreign culture can dramatically increase exciting global employment opportunities. It is an excellent way of developing a competitive edge in the global employment market. 2) Make a Difference in the Global Community International volunteering experience indicates valuable personal qualities. It shows that you are a responsible global citizen with a helping heart. Living and working in third world nations (where many people live on less than $1 a day) offers a unique life experience. It makes you realize how blessed you really are and how much you can contribute. You are needed and you can make a difference, even if it is just leaving a fingerprint on an orphan’s life. Such self-actualization experience is priceless. 3) Develop Friendships and Global Networks Our programs provide you a good opportunity to cultivate long lasting friendships. Many volunteers build life-long friendships with host families and workplace co-workers. These valuable international networks will contribute to both your personal and professional life. 4) Increase Your Global Awareness and Cultural Intelligence Open yourself to a transformative experience as you immerse yourself in a foreign culture first hand. Expand your world-view, and challenge your personal beliefs. Increase your global awareness and cultural intelligence. Life’s too short to live in a bubble. 5) Access Great Learning Opportunities International volunteer/intern programs provide valuable on-the-job learning opportunities. It helps you to enhance your language skills. The most effective way to learn a new language is to speak it in day-to-day life. It is much more rewarding than just learning it in a classroom. 6) Travel and Have Fun Volunteer travel is the best way to see the world as it gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself right into the local culture.
