What is the story behind your organization?
I founded the organization in 2007 with my husband, and the organization was born out of our own experiences volunteering abroad and realizing the transformative impact it had on both the volunteers and the communities we’ve served. We wanted to create a platform that would provide meaningful and sustainable volunteer opportunities in various countries, focusing on education, healthcare, conservation, and community development. In starting A Broader View Volunteers, we aimed to foster cross-cultural understanding and empower volunteers to contribute to positive change globally.
