Experience and a Proven Track Record

Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 and is one of the leading international volunteer organisations. Since Projects Abroad began we have placed over 35,000 volunteers on meaningful projects throughout the developing world. But don’t just take our word for it, read some of the hundreds of Volunteer Stories written by former volunteers.

We have a team of over 500 full-time staff members worldwide. Many are former volunteers themselves inspired by their own experiences, some are even part of the original groups of volunteers who joined Projects Abroad back in the early 1990s. Others are experts on the local communities you are working in, having spent their whole lives there. They have vast experience in fields such as community development or education.
