This resource list offers the most extensive collection of NGO profiles available anywhere for the US, Canada, Australia, Belgium, France, New Zealand and the UK, among others. Keep in mind that many North American NGOs have a strong international component, so if you are interested in international development work, you should consider starting your search at home. Use the search filters to help you narrow your results. Some NGOs may only offer work, intern and volunteer opportunities to local citizens, so be sure to read the application materials carefully. Also, be sure to check out our associated articles, which introduce some of the basic NGO activities and structures in specific countries.
