The Volunteer’s Role

Additionally, you will play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems by supporting data management and implementing standardized data-cleaning protocols.

Furthermore, you'll contribute to uncovering exciting new opportunities for the CPCC by gathering valuable market and stakeholder information, assisting in initial mapping exercises, and supporting follow-up activities. Your participation in fairs, events, and institutional conferences will be crucial in driving the discovery and nurturing of these opportunities.

Through its Global Volunteer Cooperation Program, SHARE, Cuso International partners with organizations worldwide to strengthen economic resilience for marginalized groups.
