Volunteer Initiatives

China_trip.jpgGrameen Foundation offers many ways for you to use your passion to help stop poverty.  We offer exciting and challenging opportunities for volunteers across the globe to become part of the solution.

Bankers without Borders®

We are pleased to announce our newest initiative, Bankers without Borders®. Volunteers will dedicate their time, skills, knowledge and experience to support microfinance and technology sector developments in Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East and in the United States.  Whether you choose a U.S.-based opportunity or an engagement in a developing country, you will contribute to empowering the world’s poorest people, most often women, to escape poverty.

Please see our FAQs (PDF) to learn more about Bankers without Borders®.

If you are interested in an opportunity, please review our How to Engage (PDF) information sheet and then submit your application.

Grameen Foundation is pleased to announce that J.P. Morgan is the initial sponsor for Bankers Without Borders.  To learn how your organization can contribute to this new program, please contact us.
