ICS Youth Action (ICS YA) Programme

International Citizen Service (ICS) is a new Department for International Development (DFID) initiative that will give young adults from Kenya and the UK the opportunity to volunteer alongside each other and join the fight against poverty.

The scheme combines the power of youth volunteering with youth participation in development. In Kenya, the ICS programme will be known as ICS Youth Action (ICS YA), and will be implemented by VSO Jitolee in partnership with different organisations based in Kisumu and Migori districts.

The ICS YA Programme begins in January 2012 where the volunteers will spend 3 months volunteering alongside youth from the UK in volunteer placements in Nyanza county Kenya.
