Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I am an administrator in Community Relations at the University of Pittsburgh. One of my responsibilities is to place volunteers from among our 13,000 faculty and staff with local non-profits. Since my experience with Global Links began in 1995, they have consistently supplied well-planned and meaningful voluntary service activities, with a strong educational component, to groups of University staff, faculty and graduate/professional students with near monthly frequency. Global Links is environmental to the extent that they recycle massive amount of medical supplies & equipment that would be otherwise headed for landfills.

Global Links could accept more volunteers. "My volunteers" love going there to work and I usually have to turn a number away.

Getting the fuller cooperation from arrogant hospital administrators. Need for more space and more staff.

Great job Global Links! We need more non-profits that are run as efficiently as you are.
