Volunteer overseas
CUSO-VSO is actively recruiting for overseas volunteer positions across a range of professional backgrounds.
Our volunteers come from across Canada and the United States, as well as from many of the countries in which we work. And they come from all age ranges, from young professionals to retired specialists. The majority of our placements are two years in length, though select short-term placements are available for those with specialized skills or a great deal of experience.
