Going on an international volunteering mission means flying to another country to work in close collaboration with our partners in Africa or Latin America for a few weeks or several months.

Alongside a committed team, take part in rpgrammes and daily life, and go beyond the professional framework to build real human relationships centred on exchange and learning.

Leaving with the PCV programme is also a promise to go to the heart of the communities, and to use your skills where they will be most useful to change children’s reality.

Whether you are in transition careers, on sabbatical, looking for a humanitarian mission, just graduated, between 2 years of studies, retired, taking a break from your professional life, or simply want to give your time and expertise to a cause that is close to your heart, international volunteering gives you the opportunity to blossom while helping a good cause.

No one has the pretense to think they are able to change the world. But some people have dared to imagine it, to wish it and to project themselves into a fairer, more just society. This battle is far from over, but it is a noble one, because it emanates from a people who speak for the people, from organisations dedicated to asserting the rights of this people, with a single objective: to live better alone in order to live better together.
