About CUSO-VSO

Cheryl Evans and Mayleene Welch (Guyana - Education)

CUSO-VSO is a non-profit development agency that works through volunteers.

Each year, we send hundreds of global citizens to work on collaborative development projects in more than 40 countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are one of North America’s leading international development organizations that works through volunteers. 

Contribute to a world of solutions

CUSO-VSO volunteers work at the crossroads between hope and hardship. We place people of all ages who have the hands-on know-how and perspectives needed to work with organizations working to overcome poverty. The causes of disadvantage and inequity are complicated, and volunteering is not a panacea to poverty - but we think it can be an important part of the solution.
