Volunteering is MORE than just a life experience

It is a process that involves and impacts positively and reciprocally. Your personal goals are intertwined with collective goals for social change. No matter what your skills are, your willingness will be your greatest asset. Through a volunteering mission, you will :

  • Express your commitment to a societal cause that is close to our hearts
  • Fight against inequalities in development
  • Be part of a reciprocal exchange of knowledge and learning
  • Take part in a cultural opening
  • Meet other local and international volunteers from around the world
  • Learn about yourself in a challenging environment
  • Develop soft skills that can be an added value in the workplace. A volunteering experience can help you develop your career

Become a pillar in building a more equal world by tackling development injustices. CIVS will be there to support you in this common project.

I’m so happy to meet amazing people. The children were lovely and nice and the volunteers were marvelous too. And I could learn many things from this experience. Thank you.

I fell in love with the children in Ahero. I spent my days playing with them, preparing meals, and giving them hugs. I congratulate all members of CIVS Kenya for their hard work and for making sure our stay is a good one. Asante.
