Use your experience and skills to actively make a difference as a professional volunteer with Avella Sights. As a professional, you’ll work toward the long-term, sustainable goals we’ve set at all of our projects. You won’t just be part of a quick fix.
If you’re interested in professional volunteering abroad, we can help you use the skills you’ve honed throughout your career to make a difference. It’s a great way to break away from your 9-5 routine and adapt to a new environment and challenges. Or, you can do something completely different during a career break. We’ll be able to help you realize your potential and discover what you’re capable of regardless of the project you choose.
We have various options for you. No matter which trip you choose, our staff will be there 24/7 to support you when you need it.
Career Break Ideas
Volunteering abroad is an exciting way to take a break from your career. If you’re in need of some time off, or would like to gain experience working in a new field, volunteering gives you that option.
A volunteer program lets you see the world while using your experience in the workplace to contribute to a specific area of need. This is the perfect opportunity to try something different and acquire new skills. For example, if you’ve always had a love for nature, you can help at a Conservation Project. Or, if you want to learn basic medical skills, you can work with local medical professionals on a Public Health Project.
Our projects are a good fit for those on sabbatical or if you want to change careers. You can use your time in Uganda to re-energize before the next chapter of your life or career. We also welcome retirees. If you’re a senior interested in volunteering abroad, we strongly recommend our Senior-Citizens group trips. Get in Touch!
Let us know what you want to get out of your career break and we’ll help you choose the right project.
How can I contribute as a professional volunteer?
Put your professional skills and years of experience to good use on a volunteer program. Your expertise will go a long way in benefiting the project you join. We set long-term, sustainable goals for each project, and you can provide valuable input in helping us work towards these goals.
Not only will you use your skills to help those in need, you can also play a key role in training others to continue with work efforts once you leave.
You can decide how long you want to volunteer for, and will have more freedom to focus your work to your particular skill set.
If you’re a medical or healthcare professional, you can volunteer in a rural clinic or community hospital. We also have a number of Childcare and Teaching placements that would benefit from having professional social workers, teachers, and psychologists. You can also choose to work in law and human rights or as a business consultant on one of our Microfinance Projects.
