Cuso International volunteers are skilled professionals who donate their expertise for up to two years to participate in a Cuso International program overseas. Volunteers provide strategic, technical and professional support to Cuso International's development partners in Asia, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. They facilitate social justice work with organizations and networks in Canada and overseas. Cuso International volunteers benefit by enriching their experience, skill and knowledge--particularly language skills and cross-cultural skills--and learning from partner organizations while on placement. Volunteers are recruited in North America for placements in Cuso International's partner organizations in the global South, but some volunteers are also recruited locally in the South.
