Community Development Programmes are organized by SVG in partnership with local institutions, placing volunteers in spaces in need of assistance.

The aim of these programmes is to promote socio-cultural exchange, to challenge culturally inherited behaviours and attitudes, to strengthen the beneficiary institutions and staff through the provision of skilled aid, and to serve as an additional tool for self development.

Targeted fields: Education (primary and secondary, technical and vocational schools, charity homes and libraries), Health (HIV/ aids, its prevention, care& support, the strengthening of local hospitals/ clinics) and Environmental projects.

As a teacher in one of our local schools, you could be teaching some of the following subjects: English, French, Math, Science, economics, fine arts, accounting, business management, technical drawing, woodwork, computer studies etc.

As a health professional, you can share your expertise, treating patients, training local staff, and improving the service to the population. Hospitals benefit greatly from the work of teams of volunteer doctors/nurses, specialists in the above mentioned areas and others.

Our Community Libraries Programmes demands volunteers who can be in charge of these educational institutions, encourage their use and promote their development. This programme is aimed at supplementing the efforts of volunteers placed as teachers and in foster homes.
