Career Changer - Tyler

"I began to feel a strong disconnect between my work and my personal values before making the decision to make a career change."

Career Changer - Katy

"Volunteering prompted me to want to work with people who needed training and who would really benefit from having my skill set passed on to them. There is no way I would have got my subsequent job in Malawi without undertaking my volunteer role first."

Congratulations to AfID volunteer Will on winning the May competition. The photo was taken my fellow AfID volunteer Susan who’s assignment in Belize overlapped with Will’s. Will is pictured feeding a sardine to a wild frigate bird just off the coast of Caye Caulker on a weekend snorkelling trip! The photo was taken during his six-week assignment supporting Friends for Conservation and Development.
