As an ICYE volunteer, you will work in assisting tasks. You don’t need to have any educational or work background in order to participate in the program.

Through volunteering you will gain deeper views into the world than just the news headings. Challenge your ideas and join in building a more equal world through intercultural learning! Abroad, your thinking will broaden, new faces will become friends, and you will gain international know-how.<\/p>\n
There is a participation fee to the ICYE program. The fee varies according to the duration of volunteering period and the destinational country, from 3 500 \u20ac to 5 500 \u20ac.\u00a0 The fee includes e.g. accommodation and daily meals in the destination country, an insurance, a pre -departure and on-arrival training and evaluation meetings, a language course, and the support of the ICYE offices. The paricipant must also pay for the flights and visa costs.<\/p>\n
We at the youth exchange organization Maailmanvaihto (Finland’s ICYE organization) organize volunteering exchange with experiences of decades. We work for advancing intercultural understanding, equality, and peace.<\/p>\n
Learn about the ICYE program<\/a> “It was definitively one of my best decisions to apply for the ICYE program. In a year, you have time to start living your daily life abroad, you have time to settle in. You have time to learn to understand why things are done in certain ways in the environment in question, you get deep enough.” \u00a0\u2013 Aura<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you interested in international volunteering?
