To be a volunteer with ICYE means to integrate in the life and work of the hosting organisation and wider community. Volunteers are encouraged and supported to get involved in the planning and managing of distinct activities, take part in staff meetings, and to take on responsibilities according to their skills and interests, as well as the needs of the project. An important aspect of the voluntary service experience is the volunteer’s active participation in the life of the community in which he/she lives and works. There is no such thing as a 'typical' volunteer. ICYE volunteers should be: - flexible, communicative, and open to new experiences
- willing to learn new skills
- broad-minded and self-reliant
- committed to inter-cultural understanding
ICYE Volunteers don't need: - Specialised skills or work experience
- Existing foreign language skills
- Experience of international travel
