Volunteer for a meaningful cause in the host country, learn about their daily struggle, and gain first-hand experience while assisting the professionals.
Travel extensively, exploring the nooks and corners of the country. Visit some of the popular sights, know about the heritage and history, try the local cuisine, and tick things off your bucketlist.

What do our past volunteers say?
“It was a special experience, the dream of a lifetime. When I chose to go to Tanzania, I had this mindset: we can't help everyone, but each of us can help someone. It was the turning point, it is impossible to tell the joy of children, I miss them already. Thank you Volunteering Solutions for this experience.”- Margherita M, Summer Volunteer Program, Tanzania
“This program is fantastic if you want to integrate yourself into the true spirit of volunteering in India. I spent four weeks at a school working with street children and would highly recommend this program to anyone who enjoys spending time making children happy and learning about how life is led in the slums of India.”- Sam H, Summer Volunteering Program, India
