After 11 years of organising South-North Volunteer Services, we as an association have decided to end the program with the 2022/23 group of volunteers completing their voluntary service, i.e. on 01/09/2023. More about this and what happens now can be found here!

Our association, which stands up for intercultural exchange and global justice exists since 2012. We organise a South-North voluntary service, which shall offer an as enriching and interesting time of service as possible to the volunteers, which are sent out by the partner structures from Ecuador, Mexico, Rwanda and Nepal every year.

But by now, we are a lot more: a more and more politically active association, which is determined to stand up against racism and postcolonial structures. Thereby, we try to repeatedly generate attention and stimulate reflection about the topics through different forms of activities. Our voluntary service only makes sense in the long term, if we manage to sensitize people for institutional racism. When connecting the volunteer programme and political work, we are especially enabled to overcome boundaries.
