At the conclusion of our week long focus on international organizations is a site from Action Without Borders, Idealist.org.

Action Without Borders is a nonprofit organization founded in New York City in 1995. Our mission is to connect people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives.

The Idealist site has gone through several transformations over the years. It has a strong history of involvement from many leading social activists, business people and foundations. The newest incarnation of the website which was launched on November 3, 2006 has an even stronger social networking focus.

You can search for organizations and other announcements without registering. There are additional benefits to joining, such as being able to post jobs, volunteer opportunities, events, and get email alerts.

Visit Idealist.org and get connected with other like minded people and organizations around the world.
