Catholic Volunteers Overseas
Caritas oversees the Catholic Volunteers Overseas (CVO) programme.
Catholic Volunteers Overseas is the Catholic Church’s international volunteer programme, it matches New Zealand volunteers to situations in Oceania that are appropriate to their skills, and is overseen by Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand’s Programmes team.
