Vincentian Volunteers

Organization Description: 

Vincentian Volunteers are Christian young people aged 18-35, from all over the world, who commit a year of their lives to the service of vulnerable people. During their year with us, they live in a community of three or four people and engage in voluntary work in partnership with other, well known charity organisations in order to help the impoverished, the homeless, the disabled, refugees and those suffering with addictions within the local community.

Open our hearts to, and be transformed by those we serve
Create a life-giving Christian community together
We accept the challenge to live in St Vincents spirit by:
