We are very pleased to inform you that VSO in collaboration with Pravah has launched the Global Exchange 2011-2012. We invite applications from young people to apply for the Global Xchange programme 2011-12. In 2011, Global Xchange became part of International Citizen Service (ICS), a unique new global volunteering scheme launched by the UK Prime Minister and funded by the Department for International Development (DFID). As part of this scheme, the six month volunteering exchange programme is now also called the Youth Xchange. The programme aims to build in young people, mutual respect and understanding and to facilitate a process of becoming active citizens in an increasingly global world. The time period for the exchange is October 2011 to March 2012 where one would be placed for 3 months in a community in UK and 3 months in a rural community in India. The programme pays for travel, accommodation, food, medical costs, and a modest allowance. To be eligible, participants need to be: - 18-25 years of age - Indian national with a valid passport/ or should have applied for one at the time of submission of application - Spoken knowledge of Hindi and/or English It is a great opportunity for 18-25 year old Indians who want to volunteer and who are interested in engaging with social, developmental issues, learn by experience about diversity, global communities and develop life skills and values. A volunteer on Global Xchange spends 3 months volunteering in a community in UK and the next three months in a rural community in India.
