What is volunteering abroad?

If you are feeling altruistic and have a heart of gold, volunteering overseas gives you the unique opportunity to experience local cultures first-hand and make a real difference in critical projects and causes internationally, from Africa and Asia, Central and South America to Europe and the South Pacific. In most destinations, your dollar will go far allowing you to experience more and relax knowing you have enough money to do it all!

 

Volunteering abroad is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have with various placements worldwide so you can make a difference in what you are passionate about. It’s generally an all-inclusive voluntourism experience where you’ll play a vital role in creating sustainable and positive change to humanitarian projects, local communities, animal rehabilitation or rescue centres, the natural environment, or at vetted organisations and genuine charitable causes around the world. These trips also allow you to experience the real world off the beaten tourist path from hidden gems in nature to mouth watering flavourful foods! And like all trips, you will have plenty of spare time for additional activities and excursions with our support throughout.

 

Make a difference in the world through meaningful contributions and feel proud of the lasting positive impact you have made!
