Global Volunteering Gets Started in Boston

Last weekend in Boston, several hundred people arrived at the Harvard School of Public Health to learn more about doing good around the globe, from the international service opportunities offered by over twenty volunteer-sending organizations to workshops on topics like the basics of global volunteering, linking service and study abroad, volunteering across borders independently, and translating international service experience into a dynamic career.


Participants at the first ever Idealist Global Volunteering Fair This event, hosted by the Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Graduate School of Education, John F. Kennedy School of Government, and Harvard Divinity School, was Idealist's first ever Global Volunteering Fair!
