Volunteer Civilian Service in France

The Volunteer Civilian Service (VCS) has been instituted by a 2006 March 31th Law, within the framework of the “Equal Opportunities” Law. Seeking to “develop a sense of responsible citizenship and strengthen the school-to-work transition”, this law aims to allow the mobilization of 50 000 young people in 2007. The fulltime French VCS combines: helping/working for the community, citizenship training (rights and obligations), and individual mentoring to prepare for professional life. The Volunteer Civilian Service can be accomplished in France or abroad.
