International Volunteer Service Canada (IVSC) is the Canadian office of SCI.  SCI is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting a culture of peace by organizing international voluntary projects for people of all ages and backgrounds. The organisation consists of over 40 branches and groups and an ever growing number of partner organizations. Volunteers can choose to participate in thousands of projects all over the world. Everyone is welcome!

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.

IVS Canada and SCI offer a variety of volunteer opportunities to people, such as short and long term projects, but also the possibility to become active for a local branch or participate in a seminar or training. Read more about it in: ‘What we do’.
