With so many volunteer destinations available it can be hard to decide where to volunteer abroad. Budget is a huge factor for many volunteers; so it is not only important to find an affordable volunteer program, but the destination also needs to be affordable too. Well we have great news for you! Not only do we already offers some of the most affordable volunteer placements abroad, but now it seems that our volunteer project locations are some of the cheapest destinations in the world too.
It is a common misconception that all volunteering is free. While at home there are many free volunteering opportunities, this is not always the case when volunteering abroad.
Many people become disheartened when discovering that volunteering overseas can come with a fee. However this does not mean that is is not possible to volunteer abroad for free.
So you’ve decided you want to make a difference in the world. And after some thought and exploring your options, you’ve decided you want to participate in an international volunteer programme. Wonderful!
But now what? What should your next step be? How do you decide where to go and which organisation to choose?
John Connel volunteered at Globalteer's Helping Hands school in Siem Reap as part of his Cambodia Community Project volunteer placement. In addition to volunteering, John helped to raise awareness and funds for the project in an amazing way; by taking on a 15 day cycling challenge down the length of Vietnam: from Hanoi to Ho Chi Min. An inspiring effort!
