A Crossroader
Crossroads volunteers, also known as Crossroaders, are an amazing group of global minded people who support Crossroads International’s work through volunteering. Each year, we recruit, train and send volunteers on placements to Sub-Saharan Africa. A Crossroaders' mandate is not to provide direct services but to share their specialized knowledge and skills with their partner organizations and communities. Crossroaders work with a local organization and get to experience first-hand the culture, community and the challenges faced.
The contributions and passion of our volunteers is vital to the success of Crossroads International’s programs. Crossroaders bring diverse skill sets and experiences to their placements, and the work of Crossroaders leads to tangible improvements and successes.
Today, a Crossroader is someone who takes action to build ONE WORLD where poverty is eliminated, equality prevails and the rights of women and girls are fulfilled.

How to Start Fundraising
Why we need Crossroaders?
Every Crossroader volunteers for different reasons and their aim is to contribute to changing the lives of vulnerable communities in sub-Saharan Africa. The work of Crossroads is to empower marginalized women and girls who face unequal access to resources and economic opportunities, gender-based violence and limited participation in political and public life.
Fundraising is an incredibly powerful way to make a difference and take action to support our work.
By becoming a Crossroader you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of women and girls living in Sub-Saharan Africa.
