ABOUT US

We at The Volunteer Circle believe it is time to take CHARGE.
By creating a platform for skill-sharing across all areas of Lebanon, we match enthusiastic volunteers, community services, experience seekers, and multi-talented individuals with the cause that needs them the most.

Our Vision

Our circle is a vision about altering the way we use our time and effort on the personal level, and improving capacity of organizations on the national level.

An initiative for the people by the people, we create a community that is readily accessible to support the hard work of NGOs, start-ups, local businesses, and artists.

Our Mission

The Volunteer Circle was founded in 2017 by two women, a social entrepreneur and third sector professional, who wanted to prove that volunteering can be accessible, meaningful, helpful at the national-scale, and an experience that contributes to personal growth.
Today, The Volunteer Circle changes the conventional way of searching for volunteer opportunities in the Middle East… We believe that each one of us can contribute in their own way and engage in the social development of the MENA region.
We connect people to fill the gaps between the many needs versus the many talents within our region.
When combined, our efforts become even more powerful and feed into a more sustainable planet and humane lifestyle where no one is left behind.
