ABOUT ---------

Vocational Impact’s core mission is to provide international skills exchange, career development and work experience by recognising and listening to the needs of international NGOs and charities and their development goals. Founded in 2015, Vocational Impact help international projects build and grow through research, crucial funding and empowerment. We are a proud member of the internationally recognised and UK registered charity, Arms Around the Child. WHO WE CATER FOR ---------

We have global experience helping hundreds of students, graduates and professionals each year access projects that will enhance their careers by accessing unique and tailored work experience opportunities. We work with the individual and then match you to the project that would benefit most from your unique set of skills and experiences. HOW WE DIFFER --------

We are a registered charity and therefore primarily a fundraising initiative on behalf of our project partners. We are committed to developing reliable and sustainable funding plans for our partner organisations. We invest our donations directly back to the projects we send volunteers too; helping them grow, access skilled local staff and crucial funds for projects like women’s empowerment, child protection, mental health and international development.

🧠Today is World Mental Health Day! 🧡
Mental Health Day takes place annually on October 10, first set by the World Federation for Mental Health.
World Mental Health Day seeks to raise global awareness, fight social stigma, and improve mental health support. This years theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”.

At Vocational Impact, we work closely with multiple hospitals and organisations which champion mental health and lived experiences, which shape the care received.
Through psychiatric hospital care to sessions for children's wellbeing, Vocational Impact supports mental health treatment in a huge amount that we do - as of course do our fantastic mental health volunteers!

💬"My first impressions of the organisations was how dedicated they are to the work they do and their passion for making a change in children’s lives. I could not have asked for better people to learn from. "

We are passionate about building sustainable and ethical volunteer programmes where our project partners receive educated and eager-to-learn students and professionals, while volunteers will gain valuable work experience, career-enhancing opportunities and life-changing personal growth.

Vocational Impact invests straight back into the projects we send volunteers to; helping them grow, access skilled local staff, and provide crucial funds for projects like women’s empowerment, child protection, mental health, legal aid, education, healthcare and community development initiatives.

Here at Vocational Impact - we unfortunately don't take everyone ❤️‍🩹 We only take volunteers with at least a foundational knowledge of the subject in which they want to work.

This ensures positive change and real impact in communities.🌍💅It's how we stick to our ethics and objectives!
