Freedom House, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that promotes
democracy and liberty throughout the world, seeks candidates for its
American Volunteers for International Development (AVID) program.
Through AVID, Freedom House identifies, mobilizes, and sponsors
qualified American professionals who volunteer to work side-by-side
with their counterparts in Central and Eastern Europe.
Volunteers with experience in non-profit management & development,
advocacy, fundraising, project design, and public relations are
particularly needed. Potential opportunities exist for volunteers
with experience in political communication, legislative process,
local government administration, public administration, budgeting &
finance, and economic development.
In order to participate volunteers must have a minimum of two years
relevant professional work experience and commit to 3-12 months of
service. Local language skills are helpful, but not required. AVID
volunteers receive transportation and basic living expenses.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Visit the Freedom House website (www.freedomhouse.org/programs) to
learn more about the AVID program and download an application. To
request an application by mail or e-mail, contact:
