NGO Overseas.... Volunteers...

Volunteer Overseas for VOS.

You'll probably work for 40 years. Make 2 of them memorable.

You might not think that your management skills are likely to be in
great demand when it comes to changing the world. Think again. VSO has a
growing need for experienced professionals with skills in areas such as
change management, business /staff development and strategic planning to
help strengthen organizations in some of the world 's poorest countries.

Volunteering overseas with VSO is one practical way that you can take
action to tackle poverty and injustice throughout the developing world.
By sharing your management, finance and fundraising skills to build
capacity in countries such as Nepal, Namibia, Mongolia and Tanzania, you
can also develop your own career. Living and working alongside local
communities, and in partnership with local organizations, you will put
your experience in change management, strategic planning, financial
management and fundraising to good use. Key tasks might include creating
management systems, developing the skills of local staff or devising
strategies for income generation. You will be working with limited
resources and need to garner the support of a wide range of
stakeholders. So your higher order management skills will have every
opportunity to grow.

You will get a free return air ticket, free accommodation and a modest,
but comfortable living allowance. But most valuable of all is your
chance to forge new friendships, discover hidden talents and gain a
unique view of the local community... an experience you will never
forget

But before you apply, make an honest assessment of your suitability to
volunteer:

Would you enjoy spending a full two years overseas?
Are you the kind of person who thrives in an unfamiliar environment?
Are you looking for a challenge where you will gain as much as you give?
Could you live on a modest income?
Are you flexible and someone who values human relationships?
