Run by young people and recent graduates, this independent, non-political, not-for-profit organisation develops leadership through experiential learning and international volunteering. It offers young people volunteer placements and internships abroad. The international network began in seven European countries in 1948; its Finnish branch marked 75 years in 2023.
Schools and NGOs can host international volunteers for their projects, while families can join a host family programme. A company opportunities portal supports the recruitment of young talent from around the world.
