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
