Small Business Development Volunteer Programs Abroad

Small business development is arguably one of the most important elements driving a robust economy. It's vital that individuals have the opportunity to build their own brand, whether it be in finance and accounting, engineering and architecture, agriculture, art, or any number of specialties, which all contribute to the community at large. It's always a good time to volunteer abroad in small business development, especially considering the amount of technology we have at our fingertips. The demand for volunteers is high, so you'll have the freedom to choose the location and project that's right for you.

A Guide to Small Business Development Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad

Contributing to small business development across borders strengthens the entire global economic framework. Especially in rural or less developed regions, such as Mongolia or Africa, this type of volunteer work has visible rewards; helping locals achieve their dreams is nothing short of inspiring! Business development work is crucial to progress, and has the ability to give families the confidence to support themselves and build a future, by fostering independence.

Small business development volunteer work will give individuals the chance to really make a difference in whatever project they choose, whether sharing their own business skills or supporting the foundational components of a business’s development. As a small business development volunteer, you can help empower individuals to take control of their lives and finances, by becoming contributing members of society and ultimately creating a more sustainable local economy.

IVHQ Christmas Program in Guatemala

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.
