INTERNATIONAL CITIZEN SERVICE (ICS)

International Citizen Service is an overseas volunteering programme for 18-25 year olds (23-35 for Team Leaders), led by VSO and funded by the UK Government. ICS is a development programme that brings together young people from the UK and developing countries to volunteer in some of the poorest communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Placements last between 10 and 12 weeks, and you will be required to raise at least £800 with the help of their fundraising team.
