What we focus on

VSO’s six development goals link the priorities of our partner organisations, international development targets and our distinctive competences (for example, our experience in education or at working with grass roots organisations). Each country programme selects two or three goals areas to focus on.

Quotes

If you’re the kind of person who’s always wanting to learn, who is fascinated by other people, who just loves other cultures, do VSO.

I didn't expect the impact I could have, like saving a life or empowering staff to achieve things on their own.

Kerry Davies, VSO Volunteer Hospital Management Advisor, Cambodia

From a career perspective VSO was probably the best thing I ever did and it remains one of the highlights of my CV.
