iVolunteer - International Volunteering Opportunities

You will probably work for 40 years. Make two of them memorable.

iVolunteer Overseas and VSO offer a unique opportunity for committed Indian professionals to share their skills with disadvantaged people in the developing countries of Asia and Africa.  

VSO is an international charity that works through volunteers to fight poverty and disadvantage (voted top international development charity at the Charity Awards 2004). In India, VSO recruits volunteers through the iVolunteer Overseas Program (IVO).

VSO is  looking for skilled and experienced Indian professionals who are willing to volunteer for international assignments in the areas of Project Management, NGO Development Worker, Community Mobilization, HIV and AIDS, Microfinance, Mental Health and Primary Education.

Our volunteers make a 2-year commitment to share their skills where they are most needed. In return, they acquire a lot of expertise and abilities working with an international organization.

Who can volunteer

Post-graduate, over 25 years old, with minimum working experience of 3 years in the above work areas and fluent written and spoken English. Above all, the candidate must be willing to work in an interdisciplinary environment with sensitivity to cross-cultural development needs.
