VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Our high-impact approach brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, promote international understanding and action to change lives and make the world a fairer place.  Through our volunteers, we harness the talents, enthusiasm and skills of ordinary people to bring about lasting change.

International Citizen Service (ICS) is a 12 week volunteering programme for 18-29 year olds. A group of 8-10 young people from the UK will join a group of up 8-10 young people from Cambodia, to live, learn and volunteer together on community based development projects. Through living and working alongside communities, ICS volunteers gain firsthand knowledge and experience of good practice in development work and are in turn able to make practical and meaningful contributions to the communities in which they volunteer. They return to their home communities motivated to play a part in local and global action. Each team of volunteers is supported by a Project Coordinator and two team leaders from the UK and Cambodia.
