I LIVE ABROAD

The S.A.V.E. Member Program is opened to those who live abroad and want to make a change in their own community.

Paris is where it all started..in a country where socialism is embedded in the culture, and volunteers of all ages have come here to help others in need.   Our local activities have helped shape the S.A.V.E. Member Program for others abroad.  S.A.V.E. workshops and our coaching sessions are all on-line.  Volunteer activities in Paris can be replicated in your own city.  You can join a volunteer activity with your local city NGO, or with one of the international chapters Serve the City International has in over 50+ cities worldwide.

The SAVE platform aims to create social impact initiatives not just for Paris, but for own city and community. Learn best practices online and implement them in your own city and community.

Flexible Online Workshops

We offer five key online and classroom workshops each month where our members can learn about humanitarian and environmental topics. We also support change-agents by offering a unique approach in “making sense” of the world through taking action and challenging one’s assumption.  It is important for us as an association that all volunteers are clear with their own WHY in making an impact. Workshops facilated by our Serve the City’s leadership team and network are designed to be fun, interactive and engaging.

Experience The Real  Paris

Paris is a magnificent city, famous for its romance, its architecture and its art. While all this is true, there are sides of it which remain hidden. If you come, we want you to experience the invisible side of Paris and make a positive impact. To ensure this, we’ll guide you to join our volunteering activities, learn from your experience and contribute to the well-being of the less-privileged. Meanwhile, you are more than welcome to do your volunteering hours in your own community.

Developing Your Capstone Project

Developing your own capstone project is a way for you to engage in guided reflection with other SAVE Members.  The goal is to empower you as a change-agent to identify your unique purpose and how you may best serve your community. We bring together knowledge from our social leaders in Paris, and the best practice of volunteering we accumulated.   Big ideas result from collaborating on capstone projects, which are then presented on our social media channels internationally.
