ICS Celebration & Engagement (ICE)

ICS Celebration & Engagement (ICE)

The International Citizens Service (ICS) Celebration & Engagement (ICE) event is a joint effort between Challenges Worldwide, as the coordinating agency, Balloon Ventures, International Service, Lattitude Global Volunteering and Voluntary Service Overseas in Ghana.
Having supported over 30,000 young volunteers on the ICS programme and given the significant number of successful ICS innovation projects, we have gained an opportunity to celebrate our successes, showcase our impact on youth development across the world and share knowledge.

The aim of the ICE is to:

  • Inform decision makers and funders about the impact of youth volunteerism on economic development
  • Equip young participants with employable skills to increase youth employability
  • Encourage entrepreneurship among the youth to address unemployment
  • Engage with alumni of the ICS consortium in Ghana

This event will take place at 2 locations, that is, Tamale and Accra. Please find the details below;

Venue, Date & Time:
Accra: The Balme Library, University of Ghana, Legon | August 11, 2018 | 9:00am – 5:00pm
Tamale: Centre for Pastoral Formation, Dungu, Kumasi Road | August 4, 2018 | 9:00am – 5:00pm

You will have the opportunity to attend the event at either Accra or Tamale. Please note that you are to attend only one of these events, and attend the event CLOSEST to you.

ICS Selector Training London

The role of an ICS selector/ assessor is vital to the volunteer assessment process. Selectors will assess the suitability of applicants against the ICS selection criteria through structured one-to-one interviews and observing group activities. This is a great opportunity to engage with the leading international volunteering programme in the UK and to support young people at the beginning of their Challenges Worldwide ICS journey.

 Assessment days generally run from 9.30am – 6pm, and can be full on and tiring days, therefore we require selectors to have stamina, flexibility, and enthusiasm. Selectors will be able to utilise skills and information gained through previous voluntary experiences, and have an opportunity to build strong assessment and facilitation skills.

We will reimburse travel expenses up to £50.
