Discover what you're capable of
Projects Abroad is the world’s largest provider of international volunteering, internships and meaningful travel experiences. We’ve been running for over 25 years and have been trusted by over 120,000 participants who’ve joined our award-winning trips.
As champions of Responsible Travel, all our volunteer projects work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This means you’re helping to work towards a better and more sustainable future for all.
While you’re making an impact, we make sure you do so safely. Safety is at the heart of everything we do, so we never outsource your welfare to others. When you book with Projects Abroad, you’re with Projects Abroad from start to finish. Why is this a good thing? Because we take full accountability for what we do from the moment you first contact us, until the moment you return home.
We truly believe that travelling abroad should be easy, fun, and rewarding. That’s why we take care of everything, so you can focus on making the most of your time abroad. Whether it's our impactful volunteering projects, structured internships, High School Specials, Ethical Consumerism trips or Authentic Adventures, you'll be sure to get the Projects Abroad gold standard of staff support.
So come and join us. Learn new skills, meet new people, make a real difference, and have the experience of a lifetime.
We cannot wait to help you find out what you’re capable of.
What makes us different?
Gold Standard of Support
Safety is everything to us and has been for over 25 years. We wouldn't dream of contracting-out your safety to third parties, as some do. Instead, we employ, thoroughly vet, and train all our own staff. Together, we provide a world-class support network to help you thrive.
Hassle-free approach
We take care of everything, so you don’t have to. Shopping around for insurance, organising airport pickups, and finding safe, clean accommodation all takes time and extra money. We take care of it all for you, and it’s included in the price as standard.
Make a Real Impact
This isn’t just a holiday and we don’t want to waste your time. That’s why we invest in planning, measurement tools, and training resources. This means any project you choose is meaningful and creates real, positive change where it’s needed the most.
Projects Abroad Madagascar have incredible staff members. They were able to improve on previously established projects and develop them into something that the community needed, wanted and benefited from. Additionally, they were there for us 100% of the time.
Brandon P
Volunteer with Children in Madagascar
Don’t believe words can truly describe the unforgettable experience I had. From the people, cultures and trips, the memories I gained will forever remain with me. Not once did I feel unwelcome and Projects Abroad worked very hard to make sure everyone felt safe and happy.

Volunteering with Children in South Africa for Teenagers
I would highly recommend Projects Abroad to anyone as they’re well organised and take the stress off of you especially when you have to travel far from home. It’s comforting knowing they’re always only a phone call away if anything goes amiss.
