Background

 

The FSC-IF is an Indigenous-led global organization, governed by a Council with Indigenous representatives from around the world who is responsible to provide the strategic guidance of the Foundation and ensure that it operates in line with its mission, values, and principles.

Since 2020, they have been implementing the Indigenous Peoples Alliance for Rights and Development (IPARD). IPARD’s goal is to support Indigenous People’s to develop their technical, organizational and managerial capacities in a consistent way over the long-term, strengthening their abilities to better engage and collaborate with key stakeholders.

You're invited to

Join us on a transformative volunteer opportunity in Panama City, Panama where we will work directly with Indigenous entrepreneurs in supporting them to overcome their largest barriers.

  • 1. Low access to credit
  • 2. Lack of programs with identity and in their own language.
  • 3. Low financial and business knowledge
  • 4. Lack of economic resources

We are offering three volunteer program dates for the Panama volunteer program.

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 SKILLS DO I NEED TO HAVE AS A VOLUNTEER?

Fluent English language skills

Basic, intermediate or fluent Spanish 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!)

An interest in employing your professional skills to help others overcome barriers

A passion for supporting communities and individuals who have experienced historical underinvestment
