A Broader View Volunteer's mission is to provide developing countries around the world with significant volunteer programs that both aid the neediest communities and forge a lasting bond between those volunteering and those they have helped. A Broader View is a nonprofit organization with no religious affiliations. Why? We believe that the best way to learn about cultural differences is to experience it first-hand. Volunteering to do meaningful work is not only beneficial to the community, it is self-rewarding. Returnees usually state that their lives have been changed forever. Our Goals: We hope to enlighten and educate the minds of those who choose to make that journey of caring to a different culture so unlike their own. Volunteering in foreign countries helps promote communication and trust between nations, and provides everyone involved an opportunity to expand their global horizons. ABV Impact: ABV has been sending volunteers abroad since 2007. In that time, we have sent over 5,000 volunteers to 195 programs in 22 countries. Many of these volunteers have assisted in the care and education of over 8,000 orphans. Some have served in the medical and dental arena. Numerous children and students have been instructed by ABV teaching volunteers. Many others have aided in the rescue of sea turtle and the conservation efforts in the Amazon. And others have built schools, dorms, play grounds and fresh water wells. A Broader View raised and distributed over $1 million in donations We continue to be a part of the positive change within many communities around the world.
