International Volunteers
By volunteering internationally with Projects Abroad, you will have a great opportunity to spend your time on a meaningful and rewarding volunteer program while discovering a foreign country. We offer a wide range of opportunities and regions to suit your interests and with more than 500 trained staff in our destinations and hundreds of types of projects, we are one of the leading international volunteer organizations. It is because of the ten thousand volunteers who work abroad with us every year that we continue to function. Our prime responsibility is to our volunteers and we take it very seriously.
International Volunteer Opportunities
WHen you volunteer internationally with Projects Abroad you help improve the lives and communities of people living all over the world. Whether you choose to take care of children in an orphanage in Jamaica or build a house in South Africa, the work you do will make a real difference in someone's life, and your time and efforts will be greatly appreciated. You will work alongside volunteers from many different countries and backgrounds who all share the same goal: to help make life better for people everywhere. In the long run, we sincerely hope that we bring more cross-cultural understanding into the world.
International Volunteer Programs
Through your chosen volunteer project, you will not only provide beneficial aid and services to your community, you will also gain a new insight into your adopted country and culture. As part of the global economy, we help create local employment wherever we send volunteers. Employing local staff overseas and using their talents and knowledge is important to us. Local knowledge and support enables us to channel the skills of our volunteers to regions around the world where they are needed. Volunteers learn from their placements and the people they meet while gaining experience in a chosen field. We believe this mutual respect is what cultural exchange is all about.
