Service Civil International (SCI) is one of the world's largest volunteering organisations with almost ninety years of experience in coordinating short and long term voluntary projects for people of all ages and backgrounds. It has 43 branches and groups worldwide and an ever growing number of partner organisations. The network spans 5 continents, but is based mainly in Europe and Asia. Volunteers can choose from thousand projects all over the world. Anyone can participate!

International volunteer projects have a duration of two weeks up to several months. Volunteers participate in the project of their choice and join an international volunteer team that works closely with the local community. This has proven to be a great way to make new friends and gain deeper understanding of new cultures. 

Living and working together with people of different backgrounds helps volunteers to break down barriers and prejudices. It allows them to experience a world of mutual respect and understanding. In this sense, volunteering can be seen as a way of life - a demonstration of the possible reality of a peaceful and cooperative world.
