ABOUT US
Our story
Volunteers in Colombia is a Social Enterprise that believes in combining each other's expertise and talent "Together we are strong" by connecting professionals with organizations that can make good use of this help. In this way, we create a positive impact within Colombian society.
Volunteers in Colombia was created because there is a lack of essential information about all NGOs and initiatives that could use help. There is no good connection between the local NGO and the international, professional volunteer who would like to donate her or his time. By building a bridge and connecting both parties (NGO and volunteer), we believe that we can not only make a difference, but that we can also give more publicity to the organizations that are eager for professionals.
There are no costs associated with the placement of a volunteer or intern. The only thing we expect in return is open communication and that the available time of the volunteer is used as efficiently as possible.
Nobody has to pull the cart alone. "together we are strong"
Our approach
By bringing like-minded people together, we are convinced that this will generate a positive movement in society. We believe that every (young) professional can use her/his knowledge to make a difference.
Not only do we focus on bringing the volunteer and the NGO together, but we also bring together organizations we believe can strengthen each other, we share information so that a better and larger social platform is created in Colombia.
Nobody has to pull the cart alone, "together we are strong".
Our community
By becoming part of our community, you get a clear picture of the organizations that are active in the big cities in Colombia and it takes less time to figure out how to shape your volunteering adventure.
Once a month we organize a Volunteer meeting where each of us can share her and his experiences. We believe in knowledge. By sharing knowledge, the impact we create together will only get stronger.
