International volunteering is at the heart of Cymru Global’s values and our commitment to building a more peaceful, fairer, and healthier world. Through meaningful international exchange, we support volunteering projects that respond to genuine community needs while fostering mutual understanding across cultures.
For over 40 years, we have worked through trusted partner networks in the Alliance and CCIVS, building long-standing relationships that ensure our projects are ethical, impactful, and community-led.
Use our project search tool to explore short-term workcamps with our Alliance partners across Europe and further afield. Workcamps are two to three weeks long and provide the opportunity for international groups of volunteers to live and work together, share meals, and make a positive impact in local communities.
Echoes of Nature, a song created by young volunteers and artists across the CCIVS network.
Written and recorded through the Voices for Change project, this volunteer-made song carries messages of solidarity, hope, and decolonised environmental and social justice.
