    VSO - Sharing Skills, Changing Lives

    Youth volunteering > Youth for Development


    Our Youth for Development programme is a one-year overseas programme that provides an opportunity for young people to work with our partners and contribute towards the achievement of VSO's development goals. YfD offers young volunteers a chance to use their skills and to make a tangible contribution to fighting poverty. YfD also provides valuable experience for young people interested in longer term development work and channels this experience into the promotion of international understanding. 
    "Assistance provided by YfD volunteers has really added value to the partners in the province."
    Reth Pheng, VSO Cambodia
