VOLUNTEER AS A BPEACE SKILLANTHROPIST

For nearly 20 years, both on the ground and remotely, Bpeace business volunteers (“Skillanthropists”) have been helping international entrepreneurs, especially women, grow their small and medium-size businesses and create jobs in their communities.

When you join Bpeace, you become a skill-based volunteer, which means you’re using your industry and business knowledge and skills to make a difference.

Whether you are an independent consultant, own your business, work at a Fortune 500 company, work for a midsize or smaller organization, or are retired—if you have business experience and skills, Bpeace has meaningful volunteer opportunities for you.

We are proud to consistently earn 5 stars on GreatNonprofits—the highest rating

HOW TO JOIN

Most Skillanthropists join Bpeace on their own as individuals. Individuals are invited to express interest in volunteering by providing us with their LinkedIn profile and other basic information about their skills and industry experience. We then provide onboarding and orientation and present volunteer opportunities that might be a match.

Corporations also partner with Bpeace to facilitate Skills-Based Volunteering for their employees. For information on corporate employee engagement partnerships, please see this briefing sheet which outlines some of the engagement options and case studies from several of our corporate partners.
