About the Volunteer Consultant Program
TechnoServe’s program gives Volunteer Consultants the unique chance to:
- contribute their skills to help change the lives of those living in poverty
- experience the field of international development firsthand
- build new skills in a cross-cultural and entrepreneurial environment
- and join a global alumni community representing top-tier consulting, industry and nonprofit organizations and graduate schools.
No two projects are exactly alike, but typical Volunteer Consultant roles often involve:
- Assessing markets, value chains and industries, and identifying opportunities
- Crafting business and funding strategies in partnership with one or more TechnoServe clients
- Strengthening the operations and/or organizational capacity of TechnoServe clients
- Researching and writing communication materials such as programmatic lessons learned
- Designing innovative TechnoServe projects and proposals
Other, less frequent projects include exploring the use of new information and communication technology; evaluating long-term program impact and sustainability; and designing and executing strategic research for our clients and partners.
The process for becoming a Volunteer Consultant is highly selective. The Volunteer Consultant Program seeks to align candidate skills and interests with project requirements. We interview applicants in our candidate database as new opportunities emerge. Individual preferences on location and project type are taken into account; however, offers to join TechnoServe are ultimately subject to project needs at the time of application. Please note that some positions require business proficiency in French or Spanish.
If you are looking to take a break from the ordinary and employ your professional skills in a dynamic international setting, please apply now to join TechnoServe’s Volunteer Consultant Program. We welcome applications on a rolling basis.
We encourage you to read our frequently asked questions and sample project descriptions before submitting your application.
If you were previously a volunteer consultant and are interested in serving again or would like to contact the program team, please get in touch with us at volcon@tns.org.
