BACKGROUND
In April 2024, Venture 2 Impact (V2I) partnered with Ruwwad, a non-profit based in Amman, Jordan, to enhance their programs through human-centered design and volunteer expertise. This initiative aimed to improve the Design Thinking curriculum for adolescents and entrepreneurs, offer professional sessions for youth, bolster the Business Support Centre, and provide one-on-one mentoring for local entrepreneurs. With a total of 17 volunteers participating, the collaboration resulted in significant gains in business, marketing, finance, HR, and IT knowledge among participants. Both participants and volunteers expressed high satisfaction, furthering Ruwwad’s community development mission.

Testimonials
Some anonymous feedback we got from our previous volunteers
Volunteering with V2I was more than I ever even could've imagined. The reflections we worked on as a team and individually were very insightful and very eye opening to the many realities of different lives out there. The best part wasn't even working with a group of people that knew how to keep everyone engaged or the community that we were able to build in so little time, it was the interactions with the kids and the young adults that made everything worth it.

I had great experience in my volunteering time both in Rwanda and Romania. Volunteering is not just giving time for others, but soaking in a lot more learning from other volunteers and from the community I am volunteering. And I can see that in myself when I get back home and get back to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE VENTURE 2 IMPACT?
At the core of our model lies the belief that your unique skills and expertise should be leveraged to make a meaningful impact in communities that lack access to those skills or can’t afford to pay for them.
As a well-educated and skilled professional, we believe that it is more fulfilling to use your energy and volunteering time to share your skills and build resilient communities rather than the alternative, which is usually going abroad to do something that’s not related to your skills at all (building a structure, painting, etc).
WHAT DOES THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM INCLUDE?
Simply put, EVERYTHING!
Round trip flights from your home city to Jordan and back
Hotel accommodations while in Jordan
All of your meals while in Jordan
All transportation: we’ll pick you up from the airport, drive you around while in Jordan, and drive you back to the airport when it’s time to leave!
WHAT SKILLS DO I NEED TO HAVE AS A VOLUNTEER?
Fluent English language skills
Basic, intermediate or fluent Arabic language skills (an asset but not an absolute must!)
Familiarity with Google Drive and/or Microsoft Office (also an asset but not an absolute must!)
