Volunteers for Economic Growth Alliance (VEGA)

The Volunteers for Economic Growth Alliance mobilizes the world’s largest member-directed consortium of nonprofit economic growth organizations to design and deliver high impact programs, incorporating skilled volunteer professionals into its work with donors, philanthropic institutions, private enterprise, and developing country organizations. VEGA builds the capacity of emerging markets through the provision of long- and short-term technical assistance, with an emphasis on innovation, entrepreneurship, and resource mobilization. VEGA works to mobilize American and Diaspora volunteers to support economic growth in developing countries (including post-conflict and transition) as well as designing and implementing successful technical assistance projects. VEGA Members have assisted over 140 developing and transitional countries by sending out more than 67,000 volunteer experts to help promote economic growth.
