Welcome

Who are we?

ICVolunteers (ICV) is an international non-governmental organization that recruits, trains and coordinates volunteers for non-profit projects,  events and conferences (conference support, cybervolunteerism and language services).

With its headquarters in Geneva, ICVolunteers has continued to expand, and now has offices and permanent representation in a number of countries, including South Africa, Mali and Canada.

In addition, ICVolunteers plays an important role in the field of volunteerism by promoting civic commitment and involvement, and by providing leadership and links between organizations, individuals and communities.

Who Benefits from ICVolunteers?

ICVolunteers creates opportunities covering a wide variety of interests that benefit both volunteers and public or private entities, nongovernmental organizations and international institutions.

Project and event organizers need assistance:
Humanitarian and other non-profit projects often have very limited budgets and therefore depend heavily on the help of volunteers.
ICVolunteers provides competent assistance to organizers of non-profit projects, for which it recruits, trains and coordinates volunteers.

Volunteers are searching for interesting ways to help:
ICVolunteers provides motivated individuals with unique opportunities to support organizations in need in local, national and international
settings. By offering their time and skills, volunteers share their knowledge and strengths with those who need them, while acquiring new expertise that benefits them both personally and professionally.
