Volunteer Travel Opportunities
If you are thinking of doing volunteer work and travel simultaneously, Projects Abroad is designed for you. We have been arranging meaningful and worthwhile overseas volunteering work since 1992. In these 20 years, more than 50,000 international volunteers have traveled with us to contribute their passion and effort to the developing world and at the same time to learn from other cultures. Today, our volunteers can choose to carry out various projects like teaching and medicine in 28 countries over 5 continents, stationed with our well-trained staff to assist you through your project.
Traveling with good intentions - Volunteer travel
By traveling overseas and joining our volunteer projects you can help others, while creating the memories of a lifetime. By immersing yourself completely in a different environment and culture, you will gain a deeper understanding of different parts of the world, in a way that is not possible otherwise. Aside from interacting with local communities, you will also work with volunteers who come from all over world to participate and make a difference.
Volunteers can join our Care projects, where they will help in orphanages, care centers, kindergartens and special needs centers – all of which are understaffed and lack resources. You can also contribute to our HIV/AIDS placements and give a caring hand to those in need.
You can also spend your time teaching children English. For more experienced volunteers, we also encourage you to share your experience with local English teachers.
Nature-loving volunteers can also find worthwhile volunteer travel projects with us. We have different kinds of Conservation projects from the Diving and Marine Conservation Project in Cambodia to the African Bushveld Project in South Africa.
Intercultural understanding is always important when traveling. Our Community projects give you a chance to know more about the traditional culture of different parts of the world, while at the same time helping these communities. You can live with the Nomad families in Mongolia and have a true exposure to the traditional Mongolian lifestyle. The Khmer Cambodia Project is also an excellent option if you wish to understand the ancient Khmer Empire and its rich cultural heritage.
Volunteer Travel - To give and to gain
Different from the ordinary travel experiences you might have had in the past, "volunteer travel" allows you to help improve local lives – and not just by giving economic support to these communities.
By the time volunteers finish their project, they realizethey have gained more than they could ever have hoped to from a simple service project - they have experienced, learned and grown so much more by volunteering abroad!
