VolSol offers these mission trips in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America & Australia, ranging from a duration of 1 week to 24 weeks.
Mission trips are international volunteer programs that aim to serve an underprivileged community abroad while immersing yourself in the local culture, absorbing the authentic vibes, soaking in the land's beauty while discovering your inner self, and polishing your skills. Over the last 17 years, Volunteering Solutions has been guiding enthusiastic participants who are keen to set out for a mission trip and contribute towards the well-being of others.
While there are various reasons to opt for a mission trip abroad with Volunteering Solutions, we’ve listed down some of the major benefits:
Making a Difference: When you choose to embark on a mission trip, you sign up to positively impact communities by providing various forms of support, such as teaching English, building schools or homes, offering medical care, volunteering with animals, or supporting environmental conservation efforts. No matter how small your step might be, you'll surely get to make a big difference.
Gaining a New Perspective: Traveling to a foreign country and immersing in a different culture can be a transformative experience. Mission trips offer the chance to see the world through a fresh lens, gaining insights into diverse cultures and ways of life. Unlike regular vacations, here you'll have to stay closer to the people, learn about their daily lives, and understand their major challenges - which will eventually change your way of looking at life.
Meeting New People and Widen Your Social Network: Mission trips provide opportunities to connect with individuals from around the globe. Working alongside international volunteers towards common goals often leads to forming lasting friendships and meaningful connections. And it isn't just that - but you also get to work with professionals, gaining hands-on work experience!
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Mission trips will surely challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, and embrace new countries, cultures, and lifestyles. This journey of exploration can be both daunting and rewarding, fostering personal growth, discovering strengths and weaknesses, and redefining life's purpose.

What do our past volunteers say?
“I really enjoyed participating in the volunteer program in Tanzania. I had the privilege of knowing a reality very different from mine and living with very friendly, warm, and peaceful people. I really enjoyed the organization of the Hostel and the activities and meeting other volunteers. In my opinion, it is an experience that everyone should have the opportunity to live, as it alerts us to the importance of true values in life. I had a great time. I strongly recommend this experience.”- Dora M, Mission Trip in Tanzania
“The experience was all around great!! We chose the two-week special in Thailand. We loved our time at Happy Elephant Home. The people were amazing, the food was amazing, and the views were amazing! Everything ran super smoothly and there was not a time where I didn’t feel safe!”- Morgan H, Elephant Volunteering Program in Thailand
