A volunteering assignment is an incredible avenue for both personal and professional growth. Volunteers get to hone their skills by working in challenging environments while gaining a perspective on life that is outside the reach of those safely ensconced in their conventional careers. Little wonder then, that the world over, employers are looking for candidates who have volunteered at some point
in their professional life. VSO has extended its recruitment program to India through its partner iVolunteer Overseas (IVO). Since 2005, more than 200 committed and skilled volunteers have been placed through IVO program and have come back with enriched lives and careers. Volunteer Profiles:
