The global community of returned volunteers

Since 1958, over 30,000 people have served with VSO. We have contact details for over half of you. Coming up to our 50th anniversary in 2008, we would like to be in touch with as many of you as possible. We aim to keep you informed about and involved with our work, of which you played a crucial part.

This global community of returned volunteers (RVs) is extensive, having worked in over 115 countries with its members now living in over 145 countries across the world. If you want to remain a part of our global community of RVs, please fill in our information update form and we will add all your details to our database.

If it has been a while since we've been in touch please do take some time to look around the site to see what VSO is doing currently. Especially useful are the News and Events sections.

Additionally, in response to demand we have developed an online facility to enable RVs to stay in touch with each other, RVs Connected. It is a simple-to-use interactive zone for anyone wishing to get in contact with RVs by e-mail, either old acquaintances or to establish new ones perhaps around professional networking.

It is free to register as an RV and you can search by name, countries and years of service or skill area. We currently have over 2,000 RVs registered so why not get connected now?
