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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

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.<\/p>

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.<\/span>t.<\/p>

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
