Funding information
Participants are not required to spend any of their own money. Airfare, health, accomodation, and a volunteer maintenance allowance are all provided by either VICS or the hosting organization.
Our close-knit not-for-profit organization has spent the last 44 years sending Canadian volunteers to developing countries. Using technical and professional skills that match host organizations’ requests, we work, listen and serve through presence, not evangelization. Volunteers do not go as experts, ready to fix and change people and their environment. Rather, for two years we immerse ourselves in a new culture and work setting, opening ourselves to a deeper, mutually shared learning experience.
