serve globally with rei
Want to make an impact professionally and personally? You can invest your time and knowledge in real-world problem solving and development in an emerging nation. Train someone in your field who will then invest in others to develop their nation—a multiplying effect.
"One should never underestimate the true value of investing time and self to benefit others,
for as a result of this, not only has my own life been greatly enriched but also I am able to
introduce new concepts in Vietnam that are readily accepted."
- Kathie Cowie, REI Volunteer
