We’re looking for passionate Team Leaders to join Raleigh International Citizen Service (ICS) in Nicaragua in February 2017.

Support teams of UK and Nicaraguan volunteers on a community-based sustainable development project.

It’s a government funded volunteering programme, so it won’t cost you a penny.

ICS is led by VSO and funded by the UK government. It’s a development programme that brings together young people from the UK and developing countries to volunteer in some of the poorest communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

What will you do?
Spend 7 months in Nicaragua.
Support a group of volunteers working on development projects.
Live and work with people in rural communities and become immersed in the local culture.
Help to improve people’s access to water and sanitation.
Or support young people and women to set up small businesses and improve their livelihoods.
Create lasting change.
Use your leadership skills.
Challenge yourself to change your world.

"If you´re thinking of applying for ICS you´ll have to put in a lot of effort to make your project successful, but you´ll gain so much on a personal and professional level it´ll be one of the best decisions you´ll ever make." – John, Team Leader, Nicaragua.

We have limited places available, so we recommend applying as soon as possible.
