We provide opportunities for young people from Wales and the rest of the UK to have incredible volunteering experiences abroad, in Europe, Asia, Africa or the Americas.

International volunteering provides amazing opportunities for personal development by building new skills and delivering experiences that enrich lives while making participants more attractive to future employers.

Most importantly for us, though, volunteering is a way of promoting peace and intercultural understanding between people of different backgrounds.
