“I am very proud to volunteer with ICS. The project helped me to improve my personal development skills. I am not the same as before: I am comfortable to work anywhere in the world and make it better.”

- Nasir Bakari, VSO ICS Volunteer, Tanzania.

We have fully-funded opportunities for young people aged 18-25 to volunteer on projects lasting around 10 weeks on our International Citizen Service (ICS) programme.

ICS volunteers work in Lindi region and Zanzibar on projects working to improve conditions for farmers, entrepreneurs and SMEs. Not only do ICS volunteers say it is useful in helping gain further education and employment, they are making a difference:

• 10 youth groups supported by ICS saw a 500% increase in income
• In five Tanzanian schools where ICS volunteers worked, there is an 84% increase in student satisfaction with the introduction of school clubs and the use of teaching aids

If you are a Tanzanian national interested in volunteering with ICS please contact our local office by email: tanzania.info@vsoint.org

UK nationals interested in youth volunteering can apply through our ICS youth volunteering pages.
