VSO is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes volunteering as a powerful and practical way to tackle poverty and inequality. Our purpose is to create lasting change through volunteering.

We know that people in developing countries have the desire, power, courage and determination to shape their own futures.

Through our Volunteering for Development (VfD) approach, we put the most marginalised people first. Grounded in years of evidence and learning, this approach develops active citizens who drive local community-led change and deliver sustainable development goals long after a project or grant ends.

This includes providing full recruitment services, ensuring good people management, support staff learning and capacity building initiatives, and be the projects' focal point on safeguarding and duty of care, logistics, health and well-being of staff and volunteers.
