Do you organize international volunteer service?  Do you lead seminars for international volunteers?  Are you a mentor for international volunteers in a project?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be interested in the experiences and practical advice we've collected.

We are the member organizations of the Protestant Forum for Voluntary Services in Development Cooperation - eFeF, their international partners, mentors, and former volunteers.  Together, we have discussed the quality of international volunteer service and developed helpful tools to improve the quality of international volunteer service. The “Quality Toolkit in International Voluntary Services” came to be as part of this process. It contains suggestions, advice, reflections, and tools you can use to improve the quality of your service.  Everything we provide is also available for download.

We, the developers of the Quality Toolkit, see ourselves as a multi-organization, open, and sustainable network for quality development.  A network like this needs active participation, teamwork, and open communication.  For this reason, the Quality Toolkit provides the possibility to rate and comment on the instruments, as well as the possibility for organizations to upload their own tools and suggestions.  You can find more information about these options and registering for the site here.

We hope that the Quality Toolkit is useful for your work and also want to invite you to actively participate in the community. Share your input, thoughts, tools, comments, or questions!
