Volunteer Service Trips Abroad

On a volunteer service trip with Projects Abroad, you will have the opportunity to explore a number of different destinations and choose from a variety of projects. Projects Abroad currently operates programs in 27 different countries throughout the world, such as Cambodia, Morocco, Peru, Ghana, and Romania, as well as several others. Each of these destinations is rich in unique cultural traditions and customs that many of our volunteers find very interesting and exciting. No matter your choice of destination or project, you will have an important role to play and your efforts will be greatly appreciated.

Flexible Volunteering Abroad

Projects Abroad’s volunteer service trips offer a plethora of diverse programs. Since Projects Abroad does not have set start and end dates, the time and duration of your project is incredibly flexible. It does not matter if you are interested in teaching, medicine, conservation or working with orphans, we can find the perfect project for you. Many of our volunteers are people who have decided to take a gap year, career break, or volunteer vacation, but many just decided they needed a change of pace. Whether you’d like to volunteer over your winter break, during the summer, or over spring break, we offer projects as short as two weeks, some designed specifically for high school students. So whether you have twelve weeks or two weeks, we have the project for you to truly make an impact on the lives of others as well as your own by being an international volunteer with Projects Abroad.

Beyond the Service Trips

Every service trip abroad has so much to offer our volunteers outside of their project work. Projects Abroad volunteers are encouraged to explore neighboring countries and immerse themselves into the different cultures. Learning about the different foods, religions and histories in whatever destination country they have chosen are just some of the things volunteers can do during their leisure time.

To engage our volunteers further, they are placed with host families whenever possible. This way our volunteers are given the opportunity to ask questions and experience a new culture in the most intimate way possible, as part of a family. With each country and culture being so diverse and unique, we advise our volunteers to take plenty of pictures. This way all the memories can be forever captured in a cascade of still-frame moments.
