Cuso International is a civil society development organization that works through volunteers. We send volunteers abroad to work on collaborative development projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. We are one of North America's largest international development non-profits that works through volunteers. Cuso International places 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 are complicated, and volunteering is not a panacea to poverty - but we think it is part of the solution. It helps build the 'social infrastructure' critical to any nation's future.
