Mission Statement

Hearts and Minds is a nonprofit that addresses the structural roots of extreme global poverty and inequality. We work to effectively help solve this challenge through public education and advocacy for reforms including foreign policy in the United States and other wealthy nations to: - Reform policies that subsidize the wealthy and hurt the poor. - Expand cost effective programs that already help millions of people. Together we’ll change the world, empowering the world’s poorest people and those in the wealthier nations to help make the world more sustainable, just, democratic, peaceful and beautiful now and for all future generations.

Description

Founded in 1996, Hearts and Minds volunteers created an online source of inspiration and information on self help and volunteering. Our site promoted involvement in Poverty Alleviation, Human Rights, Equality, The Environment, Addictions and many other areas.

We now focus on helping end extreme global poverty.

Why volunteer with us?

• Flexible hours - we’ll work with your schedule!

Important
For many activities, we require at least a year of experience. Except for those with high-level professional skills, we ask most volunteers to average at least 15 hours a week for at least a month. Some exceptions are possible.
