Global Impact Corps: Global Health Volunteer Abroad Opportunity
Unite For Sight is the world's leader in socially responsible,
effective volunteering abroad. Unite For Sight's Global Impact
Corps is an immersive global health experience for
students and for professionals. All volunteers participating
in Unite For Sight's international programs are Global Impact Fellows. They
participate daily with local ophthalmic nurses, local optometrists,
and local ophthalmologists to support and assist the local eye clinics
in outreach programs that reduce patient barriers to health care, including
financial, transportation and education barriers.
Through hands-on, structured training, fellows gain a comprehensive
understanding about best practices in volunteerism, global health,
social entrepreneurship, and international development. Global Impact Fellows gain skills
and are nurtured to become new leaders in global health. Additionally,
Global Impact Fellows may participate in the Global Impact Lab, an optional
program for fellows interested in pursuing global health research.
