Volunteering with Amy Collins from VSI

This interview is part of a series organised by Europe Direct Blanchardstown Library that explores education and employment options in the EU for young people. 

Amy Collins discusses her non-traditional route through the education system, her volunteering experiences in Ireland and abroad and how this led to further studies and a career.   

Voluntary Service International is the Irish branch of Service Civil International, a worldwide peace movement started in 1920 in the aftermath of the First World War. Voluntary Service International was founded in 1965 after several projects in the late '50s. Since then VSI has undertaken a wide variety of voluntary and community work throughout Ireland and has sent volunteers to many projects in over 60 countries worldwide.
