About
France Volontaires is the French national platform for international volunteer exchange and solidarity (VIES), operating under the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs. It brings together the state, local authorities and NGOs to promote, support and develop VIES projects across France and its overseas territories. The organization offers a full suite of services—from informing and orienting volunteers to training, advising sending structures, hosting volunteers, and conducting research and evaluation of VIES initiatives. Its distinctive value lies in its official status, extensive continental network spanning Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Oceania, and its commitment to enhancing the visibility and impact of volunteerism for global development.
