WUSC International Volunteer Information Session – Spotlight on Jordan!
Have you ever been curious about entering the global development sector? Have you ever wanted to exchange your unique skill set for an opportunity to volunteer abroad? International volunteering provides you with an experience where you are able to directly contribute your skills to development. This experience is unlike any other, as you are placed right at the centre of local communities where you will be immersed in a new culture, while giving back in a meaningful way.
Since 1977, WUSC has provided over 10,000 Canadians with high quality, informative and gratifying international volunteering opportunities. Through this collaborative approach, we are able to foster youth-centered solutions for improved education, economic, and empowerment opportunities to overcome inequality and exclusion in over 15 countries around the world.
