ACDI/VOCA
ACDI/VOCA is a non-profit organization that reflects the recent merging of two organizations, Agriculture Cooperative Development International and Volunteers in Overseas Cooperative Assistance.
In over 25 offices around the world, ACDI/VOCA's US and national staff work with local clients to evaluate needs and assess how US professionals could provide assistance. Based on clients' needs and requests, the Volunteer Program recruits US experts who are willing to donate their time assisting grassroots entrepreneurs in developing countries and emerging democracies.
While overseas, the volunteers work directly with the host organization to provide recommendations for the client to implement for maximum empowerment and self-sufficiency. We develop and maintain long-term relationships with partners in the context of multiple short-term assignments. Most assignments range between two to six weeks.
ACDI/VOCA recruits volunteers from private industry, the US cooperative community, universities, the public agricultural and environmental sectors and other sources. Their expertise includes business management, rural credit, production agriculture, natural resources management, micro enterprise development, institutional strengthening, and much more.
Volunteers incur no cost in relation to the assignment. We make logistical arrangements and all expenses are covered by ACDI/VOCA and the host organization, including travel, accommodations, meals, and insurance. Please visit our website and request an application today!
