Where we are
SCI has thousands of projects and activities all around the world, implemented by our branches and partners.
As a volunteer, you participate in SCI’s activities through either a branch or a partner that is part of SCI’s movement. A branch is a full member of SCI and much better established within the movement. They have shown their commitment to SCI’s values and missions and work together to create a culture of peace. A partner is a like-minded organisation who, while not being a full member of SCI, organises international voluntary projects and is working for a peaceful society. Partners are evaluated by SCI on a continuous basis in order to ensure high-quality projects and exchanges, both for the volunteers and the branches.
If you are a volunteer, find your local organisation below by selecting your country of residence.
If you are an organisation, find out here how to join the SCI movement.
