Why volunteer? Not only is it a great thing to do, but also a volunteering experience on a resume is seen as a big positive by employers – that’s because of what it says about you. People who have volunteered have shown that they are willing to make a contribution by giving some of their time to a project. They are able to deal with a range of different situations and get outside their comfort zone.
Where to go? You can go almost anywhere in the world.
When & for how long? You can go for as little as one week and for up to a whole year. Programs start at different times of the year, so no matter when you want to go there is always an option available.
Doing what?
Volunteering internationally is about making a contribution. Whether your interest is to be:
•working with street kids in a developing country
•educating indigenous communities
•helping on a wildlife or conservation project
There is a volunteering option for you.
