The Business of Volunteering in Community Development
Australian Business Volunteers is celebrating 40 years of operations in community development. ABV places skilled business experts – some retired, others seconded from Australian corporations – in communities overseas, and more recently in Australia, with the aim of stimulating local businesses and sharing knowledge and experience...
ABV is a team of several hundred Skilled Business Professionals (SBPs) enabled by a small salaried team. Together we source opportunities throughout Asia Pacific and in Australia to work in partnership with corporates and deliver impactful corporate social responsibility programs. We guarantee sustainable outcomes for communities, through strengthening small businesses and not for profits, leading to poverty alleviation. With 40 years’ experience across Australia, Asia and Pacific, ABV is focussed on programs that produce outcomes, positive stories of change for the small businesses and not-for-profits that our Skilled Business Professionals and staff support through transferring Australian business know-how and experience.
