WORLD
COUNCIL OF SERVICE CLUBS
The
World Council of Service Clubs is the world platform
for young charity organisations with an age limit
of 45. All member associations are non-sectarian
and non-political, Their members are representatives
of nearly every profession and occupation, whose
objects encompass the encouragement of high ethical
standards, the promotion of social interactivity
and fellowship among young people, the quickening
of individual interest in everything affecting the
public welfare, and the promotion of understanding
amongst peoples of different cultural, language
and political backgrounds.
The member organisations of WOCO have no big overhead,
administrative bodies and committees. Any accruing
costs are covered exclusively by our members, thereby
making sure that 100% of the money raised for charity
goes to those who need it. WOCO is represented in
all continents of the world in over 80 countries
with over 60.000 members.
WOCO consists out of two entities, the WOCO Executive
Council, headed by the representatives of the member
organisations and the WOCO Foundation, where individual
country associations are represented out of the
main organisations who actively participate in community
service development projects.
