T-Kit 5: International Voluntary Service

Description: This T-Kit has been developed as a tool for youth workers to support the process of organising an IVS project. It was revised and updated in 2011, the European Year of Volunteering and the 10th anniversary of the International Year of Volunteering. The T-Kit describes a number of framework conditions that contribute to a successful voluntary service project. The text outlines some of the traps to avoid and offers ways of introducing both the volunteers and the organisations to the voluntary service adventure. At the same time it can be used as inspiration for trainers in the feld of IVS activities.
