This Needs Assessment was developed as part of the Voices for Change project, co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme – Cooperation Grant. Voices for Change empowers the International Voluntary Service (IVS) movement through music, storytelling, and advocacy. It connects grassroots activism with institutional advocacy, ensuring that local realities inform global decision-making through a de-colonial approach to social and climate justice. This survey gathers direct input from organizations active in IVS to better understand their challenges, priorities, and capacity-building needs. The insights collected will directly contribute to shaping future activities within the project and beyond. Including policy recommendations, training programmes, and international partnerships that reflect the lived realities of IVS actors. We thank you for taking the time to read these perspectives and experiences in this global effort to re-imagine and reinforce the role of IVS in advancing solidarity, sustainability, and youth empowerment.
