Join USUF's force for democracy and make a difference!
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation calls allies of Ukraine -- enthusiastic and motivated individuals and organizations -- to join its mission to support democracy, education, and humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
You can choose from the list of activities below that others have done to help Ukraine. We know from past experience that our "allies" create exciting, new projects that are only possible through their energy and innovation. We look forward to hearing your ideas and helping you make them a reality!
- Sign up to receive USUF's quarterly bilingual publication InfoLink. Email at usuf@usukraine.org.
- Sign up for USUF's email reports on Ukraine and USUF activities.
- Host a fundraiser to benefit a local community organization and the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation. For example, Walter Belanger organized an art exhibit fundraiser benefitting the Sherman Oaks Hospital CA and the Cultural Rebirth for Ukraine Project.
- Volunteer as an election observer during the October 2004 presidential elections. USUF does not provide financial support, but provides all program coordination, living logistics, and staff support.
- Disburse USUF publications and fliers at your local community, church, or school.
- Intern at the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation's DC office.
- Go to Ukraine on a "volunteer vacation" and provide humanitarian relief and educational assistance to orphanges, hospitals, and schools. Volunteers have significant freedom in designing the program and choosing which town or city they would like to work. USUF does not provide financial support for these projects, but provides all program coordination, living logistics, and staff support.
- Create your own project around your own personal interests. For example, a recent USUF intern created the ClickUkraine.org Project, which promotes computer literacy in Ukraine. Though the internship has ended, this USUF volunteer continues to push the program forward in Ukrainian and American communities.
- Host a USUF speaker at a community event.
- Donate computer equipment and software to schools in Ukraine.
- Promote U.S.-Ukraine understanding among youth by organizing classroom-to-classroom penpal email exchanges.
We know that you already give your time to many community, school, and church organizations. So why should you give more and volunteer with USUF? First, whether you volunteer in the United States or Ukraine, you will gain the satisfaction of making a direct impact on Ukraine. Ukraine needs you, and you can make a difference.
As you help USUF's current projects or promote your own, you will gain an invaluable sense of international understanding as you forge relationships with other volunteers, communities, and international organizations. Your experience with USUF will also give you skills for your education and profession, such as research, networking, leadership, and the practical application of your interests and education. Many also benefit from the contact and affiliation of the wide USUF network in Ukraine and the United States. Finally, USUF is very flexible and is happy to accommodate its volunteers' schedules.
