My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a volunteer with American Councils for over 10 years and I must say I feel it is one of the best nonprofit organizations I have ever encountered. I have extensive volunteer experience both domestic and overseas (including 2 years in the Peace Corps) but I feel the relationship between American Councils and the U.S. State Dept. which brings so many young people to the U.S. for a year of education while also sending U.S. students abroad does more to enhance international relations, understanding and peace than any other program of this nature. The annual Insider Trips sponsored by American Councils gives us volunteers and friends the opportunity to actually meet alumni of the program and see what they are doing in their home countries. We get to really experience the culture of those countries while interacting with the people and the overseas staff of American Councils. I can hardly wait to begin another recruitment year and help identify the most promising candidates for the program.
