Center for Global Volunteer Service™Be Prepared, Be EffectiveMany international volunteers find working in situations of extreme poverty, death and disease to be personally challenging. Different cultures, languages and dialects, standards of living, and climate can make it difficult to achieve humanitarian goals. Coping with loneliness, having access to food and clean water, protecting one's health, and personal safety issues also impact global volunteer service. In response to these challenges, UC San Diego Extension's Center for Global Volunteer Service™ has developed a series of programs to prepare individuals for situations and conditions they will encounter in the field. "Let us not be ashamed or slow to do humble work." –Mother Teresa 
After a natural disaster, volunteers are needed to help distribute food, water, and clothing. Other volunteers might provide emergency shelter, help prevent the spread of diseases, reunite family members, or treat the wounded. It takes special people to do this kind of work. Do you have what it takes? |
