Voluntary Service International (VSI) is the Irish branch of Service Civil International (SCI), a world-wide movement working for peace and international understanding through the medium of voluntary work, international exchanges and awareness programmes.

VSI was founded in 1965 after several projects in the years before. Since then VSI has undertaken a wide variety of voluntary and community work throughout Ireland and has sent volunteers to similar projects in over 50 countries of the world.



VSI is a membership organisation and all the current programmes are run by working groups made up of volunteers and staff. Our Annual General Meeting elects a National Committee to oversee the work of the organisation from year to year.
