Global Xchange

Global Xchange is an international volunteering exchange programme which brings highly motivated young people together to live and volunteer in host communities in their own and in another country.

It is a six-month programme which gives young people from different countries a unique
opportunity to volunteer together, to develop and share valuable skills, and to make a practical contribution where it is needed in local communities.

The volunteers and the communities where
they live and volunteer have the opportunity of global perspective and to work for positive change in a diverse world.

Global Xchange is run by a partnership of three organisations: CSV, The British Council and VSO who are all committed to the idea that international volunteer exchanges can develop active global citizens and build cross-cultural understanding.

How does Global Xchange work?

Global Xchange works with young people
aged 18 to 25
Volunteers are selected in the UK and in
partner countries
They live and volunteer together in the UK for three months, and in the partner country for three months
An international group of 18 volunteers will spend up to three months in this community, volunteering in local community organisations and living with host families

Who can apply?

Global Xchange is open to anyone from the UK who is aged from 18-25.

Global Xchange also considers applications from young people within the European Economic Area (EU, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland).

All applicants must be able to support and guide their counterparts in the UK phase and are therefore required to have a good grasp of English and be familiar with life in the UK.

The programme aims to reflect the diversity of UK society, in terms of geographical, social and ethnic background and gender.

We encourage applications from all young people, whether they have formal qualifications or not.

We also welcome applications from young people who have a disability.
