About INEX

INEX Slovakia (INternational Exchanges) is a civic association offering remarkable experiences, personal development and meaningful spending of leisure time for young people, through international voluntary activities and non-formal education.

Our vision is to have active people with healthy self-confidence, tolerance, critical thinking, general overview and willingness to help those in need.

Our mission is to help young people in their personal development through international volunteering, non-formal education and meaningful leisure time activities.

In Slovakia, we are the only organization of its kind, established in 1993. Our activities are for young people, leaders, youth workers, volunteers and also the general public.

Thanks to membership in the international networks Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organizations and Service Civil International, we offer volunteers more than 1200 projects in 80 countries around the world. The Youth Council of Slovakia is our umbrella organization in Slovakia.
