Use Your Experience to Make a Difference
Volunteer with purpose. Impact communities around the world.
​We believe one of the most powerful ways to strengthen communities is by equipping local leaders with the tools they need to thrive. That’s where you come in.
​
You’ve spent years building expertise in your field – whether it’s medicine, business, education, agriculture, engineering, or another profession. Imagine what could happen if you shared that knowledge with leaders in under-resourced communities overseas.
​
This isn’t about a one-off project. It’s about planting seeds for long-term change. When you serve with REI, you’re joining a movement – more than 2,000 trips and 600 volunteers over 30 years – empowering local leaders to build sustainable futures for their people.
