Information for Parents and Carers
Making sure your child has a safe, fun and incredible experience is our priority. Find out more about the support we offer.
Safe, Supported & Satisfied
You'll be given comprehensive pre-departure training sessions, equipping you with essential skills, cultural awareness, safety protocols, and project-specific knowledge.
You will have a local expert, guidance and knowledge by your countries’ charity. This means you’ll get insight into local spots, food, and culture for your leisure and cultural time during your stay.
The opportunity to volunteer abroad can be a really exciting idea but may also feel daunting both for your child and for you as a parent. ​
​
However our projects offer a safe, structured environment to explore and experience life and culture for young people. Safety and wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do and we are here to support your child as they get to develop their own life skills and confidence.
The essentials - what every parent needs to know

Can I apply for a volunteering project if I am living outside of the UK?Unfortunately, Concordia can only send UK residents on international volunteer projects. However, it is likely that you live in a country where we have a partner. If you are resident within Europe, head to the Alliance Network's website where you will be able to find and contact one of our partner organisations that are based in the country where you live. If you live outside of Europe, head to the CCIVS website to find a local partner.
