THANK YOU TO 10,000 volunteers over 60 years
During the 60+ years of Crossroads’ operation, we have engaged over 10,000 volunteers in our work. Collectively, we have made important contributions to advance equality. Many volunteers tell us that their placement changed their lives.
Every day, our volunteers from around the world, committee members, board members and honorary patrons are sharing their expertise and talents to create a more just and equitable society where no one is left behind by working with partners — whether online, or on the field. Thank you.
CHAMPIONING GENDER EQUALITY TOGETHER
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s the importance of coming together to bring about change at home and abroad. This past year, volunteers got together to build capacity, in the field, and from home. We worked in 9 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Canada, supported and empowered 47 local partners with 96 active volunteers.
