It’s amazing what a single person can do to change the world. These days it’s as easy as ever. Whether you build a website that millions of people use or do volunteer work in a small town in Africa, you can have an amazing impact all on your own. And even better, you can find tons of people and organizations whom you can work with to magnify your impact. One of those organizations is Visions in Action. They are a Washington, DC based non-profit international development organization that “is committed to achieving social and economic justice in the developing world through grassroots programs and communities of self-reliant volunteers.” They work in Mexico, Liberia, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, and even in the United States.
Visions in Action was founded in 1989 as Africa Development Corps, but as they expanded they changed their name to be more inclusive. They now work in four key program areas: Food Security, Education, Health, and International Exchange. They do this with a grassroots approach and a strong focus on volunteerism. The goal is participate in projects where volunteers can go to work in a community and get a project to the point where the community can be self-reliant. Here’s an example of a Visions in Action success story. If you like what Visions in Action is doing, then you should check out their Jobs page.
