International volunteers and interns

In some countries and in some specific cases VIS also includes young volunteers in the context of the projects managed by the organization. They, sometimes, coming from the “Salesian world”, make themselves available for a limited period to support VIS missions in various countries, with tasks to be defined based on their own profile. The length of stay varies from 2 to 6 months and placement is required and agreed upon with the local VIS offices which will have to welcome and accompany the volunteers. Accommodation is offered by VIS which also takes care of the insurance costs. Travel and food expenses are the responsibility of the volunteers, 

VIS has signed with some Masters’ and some Italian universities agreements for curricular internships for students interested in acquiring concrete tools and applying the knowledge acquired in the academic career to the programs and projects that VIS carries out in Italy and abroad. These are training experiences which, through the support of VIS professionals, facilitate the acquisition of skills and knowledge for the development of a career in this area.

Accommodation and insurance coverage are guaranteed to interns abroad, while travel and food expenses are the responsibility of the participants.
