VOLUNTARY SERVICE INTERNATIONAL (VSI) is the Irish branch of Service
Civil International (SCI), a worldwide peace movement founded after
the First World War. We are a volunteer-based movement, founded in
**Apply on the website** and headquartered in Dublin.
FOR OVER **APPLY ON THE WEBSITE** YEARS we have promoted peace, social
justice and sustainable development at home and abroad through
VOLUNTEERING. By bringing together people from across the globe to
participate in values-based volunteering, we aim to increase awareness
and understanding of the people, the societies and the environment
around us. This deeper understanding will contribute to a global and
local society which is more open-minded, aware and responsible for its
own behaviour and actions. We are able to do this with the help of our
network partner organisations at home and abroad, enabling
volunteering experiences that promote peace, social justice and
sustainable development.
VSI?S VISION is a world of peace, social justice and sustainable
development, where all people live together with mutual respect.
VSI?S MISSION is to promote a culture of peace, social justice and
sustainable development by organizing and supporting volunteering
projects, both in Ireland and internationally.
VSI VALUES: Volunteering is at the heart of VSI?s work. We support
engagement, without material reward, that benefits society and aims to
achieve positive social change. This is guided at all times by our
core values. Every voluntary project, meeting, exchange or training
reflects these values:
* NON-VIOLENCE - choosing peaceful resistance and conflict resolution
without recourse to violence as a principle and a method;
* HUMAN RIGHTS - respect for individuals as stated in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights;
* SOLIDARITY - international solidarity for a more just and
equitable world, and solidarity between all human beings;
* RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT - and the ecosystems of which we are a
part and upon which we are dependent;
* INCLUSION - being open and inclusive of all individuals without
discrimination;
* EMPOWERMENT - providing people with knowledge and tools to
understand and act to transform the social, cultural and economic
structures that affect their lives at all levels;
* CO-OPERATION - with local communities as well as other local,
national and international partners to strengthen the positive
potential within civil society as a whole.
