"NGOabroad is a fantastic service for anyone wanting to work internationally, be it paid or volunteer work. I was very impressed by Ann,  her honest optimism  (no sugarcoating but no dire warnings) and her curiosity about me and my goals are as well as her obvious dedication. Ann's insight into and knowledge of the world and non-profit organizations is invaluable. I now have a much clearer idea of what opportunities are out there for me and I have
a real understanding of where I can best contribute my skills."

"Ann's Guide helped me land an IT job in Micronesia. ...Ann has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get to the (spiritual?) heart of the question: "What is it YOU want to DO?" and then relate the answer to an impressive list of real and practical opportunities. What more does one need?!"

"Ann has gone to great lengths to understand what exactly I was looking for and more importantly what I needed. She has succeeded in giving me direction and I now honestly feel I know what I want to achieve and how to do it. I would highly recommend Ann's service to anyone looking to pursue a career in international development. She motivates and inspires."

Ann McLaughlin's background:
I worked from 1977 to 2000 as a social worker and psychotherapist near Seattle, Washington USA. In 2001, I worked in the Balkans. Upon returning home, many people asked me how I got international work. Thus was the birth of NGOabroad. Not only do we have volunteer programs, but I assist people to get into international work. It is fascinating to work with people from all over the world!
