More Details on "Volunteers for Prosperity"
How it works: A doctor in Chicago who wants to volunteer for three months to help HIV/AIDS patients in Uganda can contact the USA Freedom Corps and be matched with an organization that is working in Uganda; needs highly skilled volunteers; meets established safety, recruitment, and mobilization protocols; and has funding from a U.S. initiative. She could then be sent to Uganda as a volunteer with her expenses paid by the organization she is helping and, in this case, with support from the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.The bottom line is that from the description given, "Volunteers for Progress" is not a new program or a new organization, but the renaming and of a program that the USA Freedom Corps has had in place for some time for matching volunteers with volunteer organizations that are registered with the USA Freedom Corps.
