With so many volunteering options, it’s easy to get carried away. Think about your passions and skills before choosing a volunteering project. Once you’ve signed on you need to see it through to the end.
If you’re not sure exactly what a project involves, talk to us about it! What will you be doing day-to-day? How does a project help the local community? Don’t be shy - ask everything you want to know before committing.

Volunteering abroad as a teacher is not only a potentially life-changing experience, but could also set you on the path of your future career.
