Global Impact Corps: Global Health Volunteer Abroad Opportunities

http://www.uniteforsight.org/volunteer-abroad

Unite For Sight has been featured weekly on CNN International and in The 
New York Times

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 clinic in outreach programs that reduce all of the 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, 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.
