ABOUT VOLUNTEERS FOR PEACE VIETNAM (VPV)
Volunteers For Peace Vietnam (VPV), or ICYE Vietnam, is a non-profit, voluntary organization established in Vietnam in

2005 with the aim to promote international voluntary service as a mean of cultural and educational exchange among

people, for peace, friendship and understanding and as an approach to address social problems.

VPV hosts international volunteers from different countries and places them in suitable projects depending on the

interest of the volunteers and the needs of local communities. VPV also brings the opportunities for Vietnamese to join

voluntary projects around the world. By joining our programs, volunteers will experience inter-cultural living and working

environment and have a chance to help those in needs.

VPV is working in various locations in Vietnam, including Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. VPV offers programs for

individual volunteers and group volunteers, for duration from 1 week to 1 year. Our projects cover areas of education,

child care, animal rescue and care, environment and community development, public health and medical support,

cultural heritage preservation and youth action.

VPV organizes two main types of program for international volunteers: workcamp or group program and
individual volunteer program.
