Here you can investigate the database of projects available through SCI and it's partners and find the ones that
best suit you for your international volunteering experience.

How to search the SCI Workcamp Database

SEARCHING IS OPEN TO ALL, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED

Select the Search menu, then:

You may search on any single setting, such as Region or Country, but the more specific you are, the smaller
will be your list of choices.

For the most efficient search -

Set the Start and End Dates of the period of your availability. Set your Date of Birth and Gender to limit the search to camps with available places. Click the "Go" button to perform an initial search to see the availability of camps by Topic, Region or Country.

Optionally, select any Topic, Region or Country to narrow your search. The Region and Country searches are mutually exclusive. Use Ctrl+Click to select more than one country.

Optionally, select any of the Family Camp, Mixed Age Camp or Suitable for the Disabled checkboxes to suit your personal circumstances.
