Center for Social Development

CSD is partnered with the Brookings Institution (BI) on the Initiative on International Volunteering and Service to build knowledge on international service worldwide. BI aims to create avenues for meaningful participation in international volunteering and service, and to ensure long-lasting value for volunteers, as well as for sending and hosting organizations, communities, and countries. As a partner in this initiative, CSD is conducting research that builds knowledge on international service worldwide and will contribute to related policy analysis. CSD is currently conducting an impact assessment of volunteers in Cross-Cultural Solutions' international service program.
