Diaspora Volunteer openings

The Cuso International Diaspora Volunteering Program (DVP) provides Diaspora communities with the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to development initiatives in their country of heritage. We recruit members of various Diaspora groups who have professional skills, hands-on knowledge and perspectives needed to work in solidarity with our partner organizations to reduce poverty, share skills and change lives. Our placements require volunteers to have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the culture and context of the placement country. Countries where we currently have an established Diaspora Volunteering program are Ethiopia, Rwanda and Guyana.

We recommend you apply directly to a specific placement, however, if you do not see a specific placement which is appropriate for you at this time, please apply through the general application process. Our volunteer advisors will review your application and assess whether there is a good fit between your skills and the needs of our international partner organizations. We are always looking to recruit skilled professionals in the following sectors: health, education, business and management, natural resources, IT and fundraising.
