How to Volunteer with CIVS

Are you interested in being part of a team that is enhancing community development in Kenya? The Center for International Voluntary Services (CIVS) is the organisation that can provide you with the opportunity to reach out to community development initiatives and projects across Kenya.

Some volunteers come to Kenya just for a few weeks to go for a workcamp. Some spend from one up to six months working as medium term volunteers, while others may stay around for a year or even longer! How much time do you have to share?

Below is brief guideline on how you can join us as a volunteer:
