VSO's International Volunteer Program

VSO's International Volunteer Program connects experienced volunteers with communities worldwide to support sustainable development. Volunteers work on projects related to education, health, livelihoods, and social inclusion, sharing their skills to build local capacity. The program emphasizes mutual learning, cultural exchange, and long-term impact, often involving skills transfer and capacity building rather than direct aid. Participants typically commit to several months, living in the host community and collaborating with local partners. VSO aims to empower communities to become self-sufficient through volunteer efforts that promote lasting positive change.
