77. Ethical Volunteering with Kimberly Haley-Coleman - Building Bridges Through Community Led Service

"It's amazing how enduring humans can be with their willingness to look for good." Kimberly Haley-Coleman is the founder and executive director of GlobeAware, a nonprofit building ethical, community-led volunteer service programmes across more than 25 countries. With a background spanning international business, nonprofit leadership, and global partnership building, Kimberly has spent years thinking deeply about how service, cultural exchange, and shared work can bring people together with dignity, curiosity, and compassion. Topics we cover ✔︎ What ethical volunteering actually looks like — and why locally led, community-designed programmes are so different from voluntourism ✔︎ How shared work breaks down assumptions faster than almost anything else — and what that means for building genuine cross-cultural empathy ✔︎ How GlobeAware's programmes are responding to sweeping foreign aid cuts and what resilience looks like on the ground in 2026 Connect with Kimberly and Globe Aware Website www.globeaware.org Facebook https://www.facebook.com/globeaware Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlyglobeaware/ Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/6n9cfb4QIVb2aqUD6XSttE Instagram https://www.instagram.com/globeaware/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@globeaware X Twitter: https://twitter.com/GlobeAware Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/globe-aware/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@globe_aware Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_Aware Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/globeaware.bksy.social Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/globeaware/ Send us Fan Mail Support the show Support Humanism Now & Join Our Community!
