Corporate Volunteers
NGOs / Social Enterprises

How It WorksThe International Corporate Volunteering program connects
volunteers from Japanese corporations with NGOs and social
enterprises in Asian countries and creates opportunities forcross-sectoral collaboration.
Our partner corporations select individuals who wish to use
their skills to make positive social impact. Cross Fields
matches volunteers’ skills with NGOs/SEs’ needs and places
them at host organizations to achieve agreed outcomes.
The program aims to leave lasting benefits for hostorganizations, accelerating their efforts to address social
challenges. It is also meant to help volunteers think outside
the box by working on pressing social issues in dynamicorganizations in emerging countries, while at the same time
promoting their personal growth. Upon their return, thevolunteers will share their awareness of social issues with
their colleagues, thereby inspiring greater corporate
involvement in this sector.
