Team4Tech volunteers give their time and talents to the people they serve.

In addition, the Team4Tech experience helps volunteers develop the following five 21st century leadership skills:

How It Works
The project fee covers all in-country expenses, including accommodations, meals and local transportation, but it excludes airfare, vaccinations and visas. Team4Tech provides a fundraising platform for volunteers who wish to raise contributions from friends and family in support of their participation. Projects are designed to provide a fully immersive local experience. Teams typically consist of five to 12 volunteers, with direct support from one or two Team4Tech staff.
