Role Overview
Working at VSO

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.

At VSO, we believe in bringing about change, not by sending aid, but by working with volunteers and partners to empower people in some of the world's poorest and most fragile regions. 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.

Role Overview Summary
The National Volunteer – Leadership and Development will accompany youth-led CSGs/networks (e.g. National Youth Forum and grassroots CSOs) across selected districts in Bangladesh to build inclusive leadership capacity. Through professional-standard coaching, reflective practice, and co-facilitated learning, the role will help youth platforms embed shared decision-making, inclusive facilitation, and values-driven leadership in their day-to-day work.

Ideal Applicant Summary

Skills & Experience
The ideal candidate will have education background in social sciences or related fields, with experience coordinating youth groups and civic engagement initiatives.

Allowance and accommodation

All volunteers have an allowance paid in local currency. The allowance meets reasonable living expenses in country, but will not be enough to send money home.

VSO works with some of the poorest communities in the world which means accommodation varies and will be basic.

We are unique in the way we bring people together to share their skills and experience, generate insights and ideas and, most of all, take action against poverty and exclusion. It's a highly effective approach that works, and today is helping millions of people in some of the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty.
