Concordia is a charity committed to international volunteering as a means to promoting intercultural understanding and peace.

We support hundreds of people to have amazing international volunteer experiences all around the world and when you take part in a volunteering project through Concordia, you can be sure you’ll be making a real difference to a community, and to yourself. For 70 years now, we’ve provided volunteering and work opportunities overseas and here in the UK. Today we work with 80 like minded, non-profit partner organisations from 60 countries, to offer medium and short term community volunteering, around the world. A selection of projects is available for teenagers aged 16 and 17. Types of international volunteer projects include conservation, restoration, archaeology, construction, arts, children’s play-schemes and teaching.
