We are a dedicated group of professionals with over 22 years of experience in the area of international volunteer programme management. While BGC is a younger organization, as a team we have worked together with a highly acclaimed international volunteer organization through its set up in India and its spread across the world – a journey spanning more than two decades. Over the years we have interacted with thousands of international volunteers and hundreds of grass root organizations, worked alongside local experts and facilitated in providing solutions to the problems of many different communities. We understand the importance of pairing the problems of communities, their available resources and, the skills and strengths of our volunteers towards problem solving. Issues challenging communities can range from environmental, educational, skill transfer, economic, habitat related, agricultural etc. With the help of local, partner organization, we first identify the challenges that need attention and, in a culturally sensitive way, agree to the ways in which they can be addressed. Then, we match the skills and interests of our pool of volunteers with these and plan their placements. Throughout their placement, volunteers are assisted by BGC staff and that of the local, partner organization.
