Youth

VSO knows that young people have the skills and energy needed to make a real difference in the fight against poverty. We run a programme which aims to put young adults at the centre of efforts to tackle poverty and inequality. You can read more below. 

VSO ICS

If you are aged 18–25, you can volunteer on our VSO ICS programme.

International Citizen Service  (ICS) is funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and run by six of the most respected names in international volunteering, led by VSO. 

VSO ICS gives young people a chance to volunteer overseas for 3 months.  They will join other young people to work on important projects in developing countries.

Find out more about VSO ICS.
