Cultural Passage

Global

For-Profit

Mission: To promote global understanding, inspire minds, and bridge gaps of inequality through cultural exchange and by fostering sustainable solutions for development goals.

Goals: To provide safe experiences that alter perspectives and lead to personal growth. To influence and shift the conceptual foundation that guides our view of humanity.

Cultural Passage is committed to sustainable development. Our volunteer and internship partner projects are selected based on their potential to further Sustainable Development Goals as outlined in the United Nations 2030 agenda. We employ best practices that ensure our volunteer contributions and interactions are conducted in such a way as to empower communities rather than creating dependence.

Farmer-to-Farmer Global Non-Profit

We support farmers and agribusiness professionals in developing countries to improve their livelihoods and food security. Farmer-to-Farmer sends U.S.-based volunteers on technical assignments to provide hands-on training to communities, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and educational institutions. Volunteer applications for the Farmer-to-Farmer program are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications submitted through the volunteer interest form are distributed directly to implementing partners, who may reach out to you if your skill set matches one of their open assignments. You can also view the list of open assignments and apply directly on implementing partner websites. Volunteer assignments vary greatly and sometimes do not require an agriculture background.

Current opportunites internationally are in providing training for local staff in refugee camps in Bangladesh and Uganda. The webiste does not mention a need for dietitians, but they are open to the idea. If you live in the Portland or Redmond, WA area, you can volunteer in the headquarters which may open opportunities for international work. Laurie Sauerwein
