Volunteers in Action: Small Acts, Lasting Change
For National Volunteer Week, we’re spotlighting the incredible commitment of Crossroads International’s volunteers. From Senegal to Tanzania, from gender audits to climate adaptation projects, our volunteers are making a difference—one action at a time.
Whether training women in sustainable farming, working on inclusive education or advocating for human rights, their work is impactful and deeply transformative.
“I learned that volunteering is not about bringing answers but about listening, adapting and collaborating” shares Éric Nadjé, Canadian gender audit volunteer.
This week, we honour their efforts and the lives they’ve touched.
