Volunteering Abroad in the Developing World

Projects Abroad is the ideal organisation for anyone looking to spend some time volunteering abroad. With around 20 basic project types offering well over a thousand different placements, in 24 destinations around the world, we really do have something to suit everybody.

Whether you are on a gap year from college or university, or a career break from work; whether you are looking to volunteer on a summer placement or as a part of an extended holiday, we can take you on and our staff will work to find the placement that is right for you. It doesn’t matter whether you are 16 or 76, or what your level of experience is in the area in which you are volunteering; we welcome experts and novices alike.

Volunteering Abroad on a Short-Term Project

Volunteering overseas with Projects Abroad is incredibly easy, as we do all the hard work for you. Once you have decided where you want to go, what you want to do and how long you want to do it - including choosing your own start date - we will sort out everything else, from your accommodation and three square meals a day, to your insurance. We can even sort out your flights if you wish.

Our 24 destinations stretch from Mexico in the west to Fiji in the east and from Mongolia in the north, to Argentina in the south. We have 7 African destinations, 7 Asian, 7 across Latin America & the Caribbean, 2 in Eastern Europe – Moldova and Romania – and Fiji in the South Pacific. Our projects include Care, Teaching, Conservation & Environment, Sports, Medicine & Healthcare, Business, Journalism, Veterinary Medicine & Animal Care and Law & Human Rights.
