The Next Humanitarians is made possible by a team of dedicated volunteers. Although our volunteers are globally based supporting events, the website, and developing resources, they are coordinated and supported further by our steering committee, pictured below. If you would like to get more involved either as a local volunteer, an organizational volunteer, or an experienced mentor, we are happy to get in touch!
