International Service has been fighting poverty through
volunteering for nearly 60 years.
As part of the government-funded International Citizen
Service scheme we are offering young people aged 18-25 the opportunity to work
with us for 12 weeks in Ghana
as well as Burkina Faso, Bolivia and the
occupied Palestinian territory.
We are currently recruiting for January 2014 departures
however you can also apply for April, July and September departures.
We protect and promote the rights of the most marginalised
people in developing countries - women, children, disabled people, and people
living with HIV/AIDS.
We have a wide range of placements, so whatever your passion
or interest we have something to suit you. We also support our volunteers so
that they can contribute their skills and experience in making a difference to
the lives of local people.
The scheme is open to everyone, whatever their background,
and you don't need any special qualifications or experience. Taking up one of
our placements will involve no cost to the volunteer, as they are funded
through the Department for International Development. We do ask that
participants raise money before their trip, but every support will be given in
achieving this.
This is a unique opportunity to work with other young people
in developing countries, and take a lead in the fight against global poverty.
It's also a great way to develop life skills such as
teamwork, leadership, communication and decision-making.
Closing date: 01 Feb
2014
