Cuso International is a development organization that works to reduce poverty through the efforts of volunteers.

Cuso International volunteers collaborate with local partner groups on projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia. Cuso International is one of North America’s largest international volunteer-sending non-profits.

Contribute to a world of solutions
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.
