Volunteer

Are you passionate about driving a global understanding of sustainability in agriculture and food, especially in the poorest countries?

COSA began with a handful of volunteers committed to finding globally comparable metrics for understanding sustainability in agriculture. Today, as a nonprofit organization operating at the forefront of sustainability, COSA thrives on the gift of skilled volunteers to work together in the virtual space with us in creating a better world.

Spotlight

Eliana Levy started volunteering with COSA to gain more experience in communication and writing in relation to sustainable agriculture. “Through this experience I have had the benefit of learning about concepts like sustainable value chains, living income, measuring sustainable impacts, and much more!” She has also become familiar with COSA’s partner organizations around the world. This exposure has given her new insights for career paths she might pursue in the future. “I am grateful to COSA’s volunteer program for helping me build professional skills and relevant knowledge in the field of sustainable agriculture.”

Thank you, Eliana!
