🇻🇳 ESC Volunteering in Vietnam 🌏 Youth Leadership and Intercultural Learning Coordinator with CSDS 🎓

Leadership workshops. Intercultural learning. Field trips to ethnic youth communities. And a knowledge hub for local young people in Hanoi that needs someone to plan, run, and evaluate it all. KERIC is offering an ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering placement with CSDS Vietnam for a motivated coordinator ready to make a real and lasting impact on youth empowerment in one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant cities.

🏢 About the Project

The project aims to empower local youth with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world. The volunteer will work as a planner, implementer, and evaluator of leadership training courses and intercultural activities at a local youth knowledge hub in Hanoi, supported by the CSDS staff team throughout.
