Selection of volunteers

No catalogue: we work with you to find the programme that fits your experience, your skills and your values, so that everyone finds the learning that suits them.

Selection of volunteers

Why we do not offer a catalogue

Tailoring the selection of programmes is a deliberate choice. Every person is different, so what we propose is too: it does not come out of a catalogue but rests on precise criteria, which are set out here.

Two students from the same school may well be pointed towards two different programmes. Our aim is that the experience you have in the field matches what drives you.

What it changes

The benefits of a tailored selection

  • Matching wishes and needs

    Pointed to a project that suits you, you have an experience that is rewarding and motivating from the first day to the last.

  • Satisfaction on both sides

    Fewer disappointments for NGOs and participants alike: the organisation welcomes volunteers who are motivated and capable.

  • A cause that means something

    Environment, social development, human rights: you join a project that matches your values.

The criteria we look at

They become clearer through the conversations we have with you, never from a file alone.

  • Your experience and your skills

    Studies and qualifications count, but so do volunteering, jobs and personal projects: every experience is valued, and the programme chosen lets you put it to use.

  • Your values and your hopes

    A call with our team to understand what drives you: an animal, environmental or community project does not answer the same wishes.

On the project side

A project built together

Before we offer you a programme, we have seen it, understood it and built it with the people who run it.

  1. 1

    Visits on site

    Our teams run audits to understand the reality of the field and guarantee both impact and safety.

  2. 2

    A lasting partnership

    We work closely with our local partners, over several years, not one project at a time.

  3. 3

    Local needs first

    Programmes answer what communities need first, and what volunteers expect second.

  4. 4

    The right project for you

    That deep knowledge lets us offer each profile the programme where they will make a real difference.

In short

  • Complete immersion

    You arrive on a project that is expecting you, in a team that knows you are coming.

  • The right profiles in the right place

    The skills we send match the needs the NGO has expressed.

  • Volunteers and NGOs both satisfied

    That is what lets partnerships last, year after year.

  • Stronger impact on site

    A well-placed volunteer achieves more than an extra pair of hands.
