Looking to volunteer overseas?

Do something life-changing

Aged 18-25? Apply today to spend three life-changing months in Lesotho, Botswana or South Africa. 

Applications are now open for our June 2016 departures!

We also need Team Leaders, aged 23-35, to volunteer for between 3 - 8 months.

International Citizen Service (ICS) is a once-in-a-lifetime volunteering opportunity open to all 18-25 year olds. It is funded by the UK government and is inspiring a generation of young people to make a difference in some of the world's poorest communities. 

You don't need qualifications, experience or cash to take part - just the passion and determination to make a difference. If you are over 23-35 and have experience of working with young people, you can apply to be a team leader.
