How You Can Help
4 the World
our VISION
“ Professionals, students, and retirees … 4 the World volunteers come from all walks of life, yet they share a common goal: a passion for improving the lives of the world’s poorest people. Our volunteers play a crucial role in helping us to provide safe, accessible education and health care to those who need help. By joining 4 the World, volunteers become ambassadors of positive change in the lives of others and themselves in the US and abroad.”
why VOLUNTEER
Aside from wanting to work with others to overcome poverty, people are inspired to volunteer with 4 the World for many reasons:
· Volunteers can enjoy meeting other people and get work experience at the same time.
· People between jobs can make the best of their free time before starting a new job.
· Those with spare time can be rewarded with a wonderful experience.
· Professionals can represent their company and practice good corporate social responsibility, or volunteer as a professional individual.
· Retirees can make good use of their life experiences.

Fundraising provides money to improve the quality of life for many people. It also allows 4 the World to operate otherwise we would not be able to do our important work. Fundraising ensures that 4 the World will continue to exist in the United States and continue helping people in need all over the world.
Fundraisers are asking people to support a mission that the potential donor feels is important. Fundraisers must utilize different methods of fundraising, such as: asking individuals to give, seeking foundation and corporate grants and hosting special events.

4 the world DIFFERENCE
Hear what our volunteers are saying about our excursion trips to Belize.
“4theWorld is a great organization to volunteer for! 2 summers ago I raised money and traveled to Belize with Keith and other volunteers for a week. Keith is so generous and nearly 100% of the money donated goes straight to those the organization helps. If you are considering traveling for a volunteer trip I would highly recommend going with 4theWorld. I met some great people, did some awesome sight-seeing and met many locals that we helped directly”. Dina
