“Service Volontaire International” (SVI) is a Franco-Belgo-Vietnamese and Canadian non-profit, non-religious, non-political association created by and for volunteers. SVI is officially recognised as a youth organisation by the Belgian Ministry of Youth and accredited by the European Commission to send and coordinate Erasmus+ and European Voluntary Service (EVS) programs. SVI takes part in international exchange programs in more than 80 countries, including Belgium and France. Our main focus is to prepare, send out, and welcome volunteers who wish to take part in international projects/workcamps organised by other local, non-profit associations. SVI also defends certain views: in our opinion, international voluntarism should be non-commercial, open to all, it should also involve citizens, and condemn the ill-effects of voluntourism. Each year, SVI allows more than 900 young volunteers to experience voluntary and solidarity work abroad, all the while welcoming – entirely free of charge – more than a hundred foreign volunteers in both France and Belgium (and soon in Quebec)
