Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We hope to enlighten and educate the minds of those who choose to make that journey of caring to a different culture so unlike their own. Volunteering in foreign countries helps promote communication and trust between nations, and provides everyone involved an opportunity to expand their global horizons.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
A Broader View Volunteer's mission is to provide developing countries around the world with significant volunteer programs that both aid the neediest communities and forge a lasting bond between those volunteering and those they have helped. A Broader View is a nonprofit organization with no religious affiliations.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We are located in 22 Countries and most of the donations come from our volunteers, they give time and resources to our 195 programs, they commit to work 8 hours a day 5 days a week from 1 week to 12 weeks. We have sent over 1000 volunteer a year that really are doing an impact, all the programs are individually based so volunteers can decide when and for how long they want to volunteer.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
ABV has been sending volunteers abroad since 2007. In that time, we have sent over 5,000 volunteers to 195 programs in 22 countries. Many of these volunteers have assisted in the care and education of over 8,000 orphans. Some have served in the medical and dental arena. Numerous children and students have been instructed by ABV teaching volunteers. Many others have aided in the rescue of sea turtle and the conservation efforts in the Amazon. And others have built schools, dorms, play grounds and fresh water wells.
