In the United States, NGOs are known as nonprofit or not-for-profit organizations. Although most Volunteers are familiar with the types of programs NGOs provide, from the Girl Scouts to the Salvation Army to the World Wildlife Fund, they have not worked on a day-to-day basis in NGO operations. By the time you complete An NGO Training Guide for Peace Corps Volunteers you will have the knowledge, tools, and techniques to work with an NGO’s staff, board of directors, clients, and donors to build the organization’s capacity. NGOs are not cure-alls for all the problems in the field of development. But they do some things very well, and with well-aimed support an NGO could do even more to help local groups move from powerlessness and isolation to self–help and mobilization. Picture American life without the Red Cross or the Salvation Army. When you consider the impact of the wide-ranging services they provide, it is difficult to envision these organizations as one-room, start-up NGOs that someone believed in before we were born.
