Career Changer - Sarah

Sarah had been working for a large real estate company for nine years, before volunteering and later working with a local sports non-profit. She decided to take up a volunteer assignment with AfID to help decide whether to fully commit to a long-term career in the not-for-profit sector.

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."
