Volunteer journey

ICS is more than just a 12 week placement overseas.

As an ICS volunteer you'll join a community of people just like you working towards a fairer world. From fundraising and training, to living overseas and making a difference in your community on your return, you’ll need to be committed to every aspect of ICS.

We're here to help and you'll be supported every step of the way. See below for more information on the whole ICS volunteer journey.
