VOLONTARIAT SOLIDARITÉ POUR L’AFRIQUE

Volunteering for Solidarity in Africa (VSA Belgium): become an actor of change

Our volunteering program

VSA offers international volunteering projects primarily intended for organized groups: scouts, youth centers, schools, associations and sports clubs.

These trips allow participants to get involved in a project that benefits the community, in collaboration with a local host organization, while enjoying a powerful intercultural experience.

On site, volunteers stay with host families and actively participate in activities defined with local partners: community projects, educational activities, entertainment or support for associations.

Advance preparation is essential in order to effectively meet the needs of the population, give meaning to the commitment, prepare the participants, and ensure the coherence of the project.
