CREATE CHANGE, BE CHANGED
Use your sabbatical to build a better world, and a better you
take time away from work
volunteer your expertise when you get there - it will change you
travel to that place you've always wanted to go

Experteering, Ghana
2011
"After volunteering abroad several times on generic group service projects, I was excited to use a very specific skillset when I volunteered in Ghana.
I facilitated a two-day staff retreat for a microfinance organization as soon as I arrived in the country, and then helped the organization improve internal communication and media practices.
The volunteering allowed me to integrate into communities in Ghana far more quickly than would have been possible as a tourist.
The friends I made and the experience I had over my stay were immeasurably enriched by donting my sabbatical, and I plan to seek out similar opportunities in the future."
