The foundation receives offers from many people who are interested in getting involved in the issues we care about. However, because we fund the efforts of others who work in the field and do not do that work ourselves, we do not accept volunteers at the foundation.
The organizations we fund (and many others like them) have the greatest need for volunteers to achieve their goals and unique missions. Below are some of the best online resources available for learning more about volunteer opportunities.

International Opportunities
I am about to become a high school junior and am really interested in making a change at an international level. I am also highly interested in being a leader such as on a youth committee or advisory council. I am more than willing to spend a lot of time and energy into a group. I recently joined Girl Up and would love to help out the Boys and Girls Club. I would prefer something more as a disease awareness in third world countries and gender equality in third world countries. I believe that by educating women in Africa and Latin America will curb reproduction rates, reduce STI transmissions, and create a new labor pool that would boost third world economies.
