This article discusses the implications of key findings from Emerging Perspectives on International Volunteerism in Asia, the first comprehensive study on international volunteerism on the continent. Among those findings is the documentation of a growing trend toward “Asia-to-Asia” volunteer placements and of the trend’s benefits, both for organizations that send volunteers and for those that host them. The article also discusses challenges identified in the report.
