Do you need people in your organisation? Many non-profits struggle to find enough hands for the job. In fact, delegates at our Global Hand Consultation in Budapest identified a shortage of labour as one of their greatest problems. In response, Global Hand has opened a section called “Volunteer Agencies”.

Here are a few examples from our Volunteer Agencies page. We hope you find this new resource useful.
