Venture with Impact is a program that engages professionals on a one-month skills-based volunteering program, allowing them to develop professionally, rediscover purpose, and in the process, provide a positive social impact. The participants live and travel with a group of diverse remote professionals. Together, they dig deep into the local culture with access to local events and activities. Many learn the local language through immersion or through lessons. And each professional is matched with a skills-based volunteer project that aligns with their professional skills, interests, remote work schedule, and the needs of our local partner organizations.
