Institutional partners

We partner with institutional donors for key funding to implement our global programmes.

Over the last 60 years, we have worked in over 60 countries with more than 80,000 volunteers, supporting over 50,000,000 people.

We're looking to significantly scale our impact through new partnerships over the next decade. Join us, and together we can do development differently.

VSO is the global leader in sustainable Volunteering for Development.

We:

• work directly with our 'primary actors', supporting individuals and communities to lead their own change;
• are driven by our core approaches of social inclusion and gender, resilience, and social accountability;
• use an integrated volunteering approach to deliver our programmes, incorporating volunteers from the communities we work with and youth volunteers alongside local and international experts;
• deliver sustainability through strengthening local NGO, private sector and youth organisation partners;
• have experience working in over 60 countries;
• have a network spanning over 20 countries, including more than 500 local organisations, businesses and governments.
