Communities
ICV works in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and provides assistance in designing and implementing community development projects. Any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individual, family, business, organisation or community can apply for community development assistance with ICV.
ICV volunteers can play an important role in your community, assisting you to develop the skills, human and community development that lead to a stronger future. Projects are conducted by community invitation only— your community decides on the skills needed, manages the project design and selection of volunteers, and runs the project in a way that works best for the community.
ICV will assist you with the application process, and will support your community and volunteers throughout the project. ICV is a not-for-profit, non-government organisation, and there is no fee for the service provided to communities.
