Overview

There is a huge variety of volunteering opportunities available all around the world. However, your choices will depend on your skills and experience and, frequently, your ability to pay.

'Professional' skills like engineering, teaching and healthcare are most in demand. Without such skills you are likely to have to pay for the costs of your volunteering, including travel and accommodation. It's important to do as much research as possible before committing to anything.
