Why volunteer during your holiday?

Explore a new country and culture through volunteer work – Travel without being a tourist. A volunteer holiday with us offers the unique opportunity to contribute to a local community while gaining an in-depth cultural understanding that is not possible on the classic tourist trek.

Do something meaningful during your time off – Spend your free time helping others. As a volunteer, you will be joining one of our over 200 ongoing, sustainable projects. Regardless of the programme you choose, your efforts and willingness to donate your free time will not go unnoticed.

Holiday with the support of a community – Projects Abroad sends approximately 10,000 volunteers abroad each year. On a volunteer holiday, you will work with other volunteers, live with a local host family, and receive 24 hour support from our in-country staff. A volunteer holiday is a perfect way to travel abroad with the support of an organisation and the company of a community.

Utilise your skills or further your education – We offer volunteer holidays for volunteers of any age or experience level. Those looking to gain experience in an unfamiliar field can take part in one of our internships abroad and we also have projects where we welcome professional volunteers.

Plan a holiday without the hassle – Let us arrange your flights, accommodation, and quality volunteer work according to our hassle-free approach. You’ll have the support of our staff and the structure of volunteer work with the freedom to explore during your evenings and weekends.
