Summer Volunteering Abroad

Spending your summer volunteering abroad is a unique way to spend your holiday or leave time, exploring a new culture and working to make a difference in a developing country. You’ll get to combine travel with the opportunity to help others – and discover the local way of life away from the typical tourist activities.

Summer volunteer options

• High School Specials: If you’re between the ages of 15 and 18, and want to volunteer alongside a group of people your own age, then join one of our High School Special programmes! These placements are structured and supervised, and run for between two and four weeks. With plenty of projects and destinations to choose from, there’s something to suit all tastes.

• 19+ Specials: These are similar to our High School Specials, but aimed at young adults over the age of 19. Travel to a new country, immerse yourself in a different culture and leave a lasting impact by joining one of our 19+ Specials.
