Our values

We believe international volunteering enables young people to make a positive difference in local communities. Working in partnership ensures all volunteering activities are identified and managed by local communities and that projects are needed, meaningful, and sustainable.

We believe international volunteering can enable people to gain a deeper understanding of the world through working and living together.

Our projects bring people from different countries and social backgrounds together, leading to an awareness and appreciation of differences and similarities between cultures.

Projects equip (young) people with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to make more informed choices and decisions about the way they live their lives.

We are working with our partners to ensure international volunteering opportunities are accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life and we believe that everyone has something to offer and something to gain, whether unemployed, studying, or working. Throughour supported volunteer programme,we help overcome people’s barriers to international volunteering.
