STAND International is a non-profit organisation that provides volunteering opportunities abroad for young disadvantaged people in Scotland aged 16-30 with a focus on Active Citizenship and Social Inclusion. . . . STAND International offers supported short term 2 week long residential volunteering abroad. We take groups of between 12-15 people with mentors and provide short term volunteering opportunities for them to travel from Scotland to a different country and assist in either renovation/construction work, children's camps or animal and environmental work. As well as pre-departure training, volunteers are provided with support on returning to Scotland to ensure they can harness their new found learning into either further training, employment or volunteering opportunities in Scotland.
