The distinctive feature of this funded Volunteering Opportunity in Antalya is that there are separate days of volunteering activities for males and females.

The ICYF volunteering camps serve as empowering platforms for youth, offering skill development opportunities and fostering a sense of agency. Studies show that young volunteers play a significant role in providing psychosocial support post-natural disasters and humanitarian crises, offering morale and psychological assistance while strengthening community solidarity. Their energetic, innovative, and empathetic approaches significantly contribute to the emotional well-being of disaster victims and the overall post-disaster recovery process.
The 2024 ICYF International Young Volunteers Camp exemplifies Islamic compassion and social responsibility by uniting volunteers from the OIC region to ensure skill development and foster a collective understanding of volunteerism’s principles. Recognizing volunteers’ contributions across diverse sectors, including humanitarian aid and community building, the ICYF demonstrates a commitment to serving humanity in times of need.
