The Foundation for Sustainable Development works with seven overlapping development subjects in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Each of our ten program locations provide a range of opportunities to intern or volunteer abroad in:

• microfinance • health • environment • youth and education • women’s empowerment
• community development • human rights

Together, these development subjects make up the prominent social, health, environmental, and economic obstacles that prevent communities from rising out of poverty. By understanding how these issues and their related solutions build upon each other, FSD is able to facilitate development in a sustainable and culturally appropriate manner.

We work with over 300 community-based organizations whose programs reflect a comprehensive understanding of these development subjects. Together, FSD and our partner organizations offer over 500 unique opportunities for interns, volunteers, and donors to make a lasting contribution at the community level. Read about our Community Partners to learn more about initiatives and opportunities in the field with FSD.
