International Voluntary Service

International Voluntary Service (IVS) is a global organization that promotes peace and understanding by encouraging people to volunteer in communities worldwide. Participants, often from different countries, perform projects like environmental conservation, community development, or teaching, often for free or at low cost. IVS aims to foster cultural exchange, mutual respect, and social change through these volunteer efforts. It emphasizes sustainable, community-led projects that benefit local populations while providing volunteers with valuable life experiences and global perspectives.
