International Volunteers for Peace (IVP) is the Australian group of Service Civil International (SCI), a worldwide non-government organisation promoting peace and justice through voluntary work.
IVP provides a gateway for Australians to volunteer overseas in over 500 different volunteering projects across the world. IVP also organises projects in Australia to assist worthwhile community needs and causes. IVP is a non-profit local community group with an international perspective, having contact branches in over 50 countries worldwide. IVP focuses on organising work camps around worthwhile community needs and causes, for which it recruits participants from Australia and all across the world through its global network. IVP activities are aimed to encourage understanding among peoples and to promote discussion and an appreciation of the problems that different communities face in their struggles for social justice and environmental harmony.
In the past, IVP has assisted athletes with disabilities at the annual Narabeen Push and Power games, helped with school maintenance and classroom assistance at an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander School in Townsville and undertaken repair and gardening work at a community center in the Blue Mountains. IVP also sends out volunteers abroad each year to work on a diverse range of projects in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. more
