Sustainability and the Volunteer Corps
The volunteers we send on our HWW trips are very smart, savvy, and in tune with the non profit world. They themselves want to have an impact, and not just go for their own self satisfaction. We are striving to design programs that have a lasting impact. These are the ways we go about that:
So, is HYC / HSC a sustainable program? Yes, yes, yes! Our Volunteer Corps are NOT “voluntourism”. A lot has been said about “toxic charity”. It can unfortunately become an excuse for not serving. There is a way to travel to other countries, get out of our own comfort zone, and be changed. The goal of our programs is not to change the world; it is to change our own hearts, so that, in the long term, we can become world changers.
