Welcome to IVS GB
Our Mission
IVS promotes peace and intercultural understanding whilst supporting the sustainable development of British and global communities. IVS aims to be the catalyst for change within individuals and society, and to help breakdown prejudices and stereotypes for a world of mutual respect and understanding.
We are the British branch of Service Civil International, a world wide network of like-minded voluntary organisations promoting peace and justice through voluntary work.
Projects
Our International Voluntary Projects offer opportunities to make a difference to the world by working and living alongside other volunteers and contributing to local community development. IVS offers short-term and long-term opportunities in Britain and abroad. IVS also offers a North-South Exchange Programme.
