2011 - A Year with Benefits?

Did you know that volunteering abroad not only gives you the chance to give back to communities in need, but also increases your employability, improves your university admission chances, and helps you figure out what to do with your life?

Whilst it's well proven that volunteering abroad provides numerous benefits to communities in need, it's not often that we take the time to validate the huge personal benefits which can be gained from international volunteering.

Next year, when you look back on 2011, what do you hope to take from it?

Put aside just a few minutes to watch this slideshow we've put together illustrating the top 10 benefits to international volunteering, or read the full report here: http://www.globalvolunteernetwork.org/about/volunteering.php

GVN's Top 5 most popular programs include community aid projects in Kenya and Peru, working with orphans in Vietnam and Rwanda, or conservation in New Zealand.

Check out our available programs here, and find one to suit you: http://www.globalvolunteernetwork.org/programs/

Take the plunge, change lives, and like GVN's 14,000 past volunteers join a program and volunteer abroad in 2011!

Kind regards,
