Bill Gates on Volunteering


This month, Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder and leading philanthropist, suggested GVN as a first port of call for young people who are wanting to make a difference in the world. Mr Gates said “I’d love to see more young people taking action to help the poor and disadvantaged - whether that’s in your own backyard or anywhere in the world. If you decide to choose public service as a career, that’s phenomenal - but you can also make a big difference by volunteering… Two places to get started are Network for Good and Global Volunteer Network.”
