Our skilled volunteers solve complex problems for communities experiencing marginalization. We engage volunteers with tech and business skills from various companies to target specific problems in a sustainable manner. We do so through programming like, training and mentorship programs, technical builds like hackathons and strategy support for NGOs. Every year we connect more and more skilled volunteers to marginalized and underprivileged communities around the world who have little access to these needed skills.

My favorite thing about V2I is that they have learned from their past experiences and are committed to helping communities solve problems in sustainable ways. I like that the main goal is to make sure that any projects worked on will continue without volunteers. This really makes you feel like you're contributing to something lasting for the community.
When you are planning for your volunteer trip, you spend your time thinking of ways you want to make a difference while you're there and how you can make the most out of the trip. You don't spend your time imagining how this will make you grow as a volunteer, a person, and the impact that it can have on your life and relationships. V2I helped me take a step back and not only ask myself important questions but find the answers. It changed me.
As a result of my volunteering with V2I, my view of what is important has changed quite a bit. Prior to the volunteer trip many of my decisions were based on the notion that making an impact required huge sums of money and a huge team. Then I saw how lean V2I was, and how deep an impact was made, which forced me to revisit my beliefs.
