Volunteering events

Want to share your skills overseas but don't know where to start?

Our Meet VSO event gives you with the opportunity to chat with VSO staff and returned volunteers about the volunteer experience. The event begins with an informal presentation and lasts approximately 90 minutes. In that time we'll provide you with lots of information about volunteering with VSO, from explaining the application process to telling you about the skills we need and the jobs we have available.

VSO needs skilled professionals with healthcare, education, and business backgrounds and is currently recruiting a wide range of specialisms including doctors, midwives, physiotherapists, teachers, business advisors, managers, fundraisers, and many more. We also have two youth schemes for 18-25 year olds.
