And why at the International Federation?

Good question. But we also have good answers: The International Federation has been a recognized and active provider of the Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) since 1963.

Our educational staff will support you throughout your entire placement. Joint seminars (at least 5 seminar weeks for a twelve-month placement) offer you the opportunity to exchange ideas with other volunteers, explore exciting topics, and use your free time to get to know each other.
