International Citizen Service launches

After a hugely successful pilot, we are delighted to announce the launch of International Citizen Service. Over the next 3 years, 7,000 young volunteers from the UK will work with volunteers overseas, on development projects that will really make a difference.

ICS is funded by DFID, and will be run in a partnership led by VSO.

Ethiopia Education

Twelve years ago there were only two public universities in Ethiopia. Now there are almost thirty and Ethiopia has a serious shortage of trained educationalists.

Are you an experienced higher education professional? VSO currently has a range of roles in Ethiopia starting in September 2012. For example, we need lecturers and professors in a range of subjects.

Volunteer with VSO

We currently have a large demand for volunteers in certain skill areas and would love to hear from you.

We take skilled professionals and place them where their skills will have the greatest impact. If every person you train overseas trains 10 others, just imagine the difference you could make.

It’s you to the power of 10.
