If you can not afford to travel to a (distant) project, then please do not apply for it, and instead select a workcamp in a country to which travel is more affordable for you. If you are applying for projects in countries for which you need a visa, then you will also have to cover the cost of the visa application.
​For what: SCI offers a variety of volunteering opportunities, such as short and long term projects, as well as non formal education opportunities (international seminars and trainings) and the opportunity to become a local activist. Short term projects are SCI´s core activity, also called ´workcamps´. They are organised in cooperation with SCI branches and partner organisations, who in their turn cooperate with local communities. A workcamp, in short, is a unique form of volunteering, bringing together people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds to live and work together with local communities for a period of two to three weeks. Work during a workcamp will be non-profit and voluntary work will never be a replacement or alternative to paid professional work. 
How to apply: You are applying to become a short term volunteer in an SCI workcamp, where your services are needed to support SCI in achieving its mission of building a culture of peace, tolerance and intercultural understanding. If you are accepted for a workcamp, we expect you to commit to the project and the specific aims of the project. It is important that you are aware of our Cancellation Policy.
