Volunteering, exchange and twinning
International Institute of Non-Governmental Organisation
Careif have established an international programme on volunteering, exchange and twinning.
Volunteering is underpinned by four main principles of choice, diversity, mutual benefit and recognition. It has long been accepted by many as a way of ‘giving back’ knowledge, skills and expertise to individuals and communities in appreciation of support and benefits they have received through the opportunity of education, training and life experiance.
We are building a ‘time bank’ of volunteers and will put in place schemes for people working in government funded services, and the private, voluntary and community sectors.
It is open to anyone regardless of their background, race, skin colour, nationality, religion, ethnicity, gender, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. We are looking for people with experiences and skills to take part in a wide variety of activities in communities, including health, social care, sporting and emergency situations.
The benefits of participating are not only for individuals who share their skills and gain wide ranging experiences, but for the host organisation, local community and wider social economy.
