This is a website dedicated to international volunteering
Most of our volunteers go on missions already advertised by La Guilde or one of our partners. But every year, candidates come to us with their own project in mind: an organization they met while traveling, a family contact, an organization they found online. It's possible, and it's even a distinct option within the program.
With more than 500 volunteers on missions each year in some sixty countries, in roughly equal parts between civic service and VSI, La Guilde observes a fundamental shift: more and more candidates are contacting it with a project already identified, rather than in response to a published offer.
An internship completed locally, a family connection, a meeting during a previous trip, an association network discovered online: You are sometimes already in contact with a host organization before the mission even exists administratively.t.
In practical terms: you don't need to wait for a mission to match your idea. You can propose your own, anywhere in the world, and La Guilde will review it with you.
Responding to a previously published mission, or proposing a structure identified by yourself. Both lead to the same status, the same support, and the same legal security.
