International Voluntary Service Task Force
The Task Force will look at innovative projects, policies, overcoming market barriers, and lessons learned around the globe from volunteer citizen diplomats in order to increase not only the number of Americans participating in international service, but also the effectiveness of the volunteers through services of non-profit organizations, religious institutions, and professional associations abroad. These presentations should describe new, innovative and collaborative programs that engage multiple organizations and involve public/private partnerships both in the U.S. and abroad.
