Volunteer for Humanitarian Projects

Do you have a desire to help improve the lives of people living in the toughest places on earth? Through humanitarian projects, Unto® provides volunteer opportunities for you, your family, team, or group to make a difference.

Most volunteer opportunities are at our Global Logistics Center.
