The benefits of volunteering on an international volunteer program

You leave a lasting legacy

You can help change the world in just one or two weeks, leaving something positive behind which will make a better future possible for needy people.

You develop your skills

Volunteering abroad is an excellent way to strengthen the skills you already have, whether they are practical, logical or organizational. This is great not only for your self confidence, but for future employers, who will see you are able to deliver what you promise.

International volunteer programs are good for your health

Donating your time and effort to help those in need not only reduces the chance of you suffering from depression, you’ll live longer too. Researchers don’t know exactly why this is the case but it’s an amazing benefit.

You can explore a new career path

It’s easy to fall into a routine, working a job you don’t feel passionate about anymore while dreaming of doing something very different. Volunteers on international development programs have the chance to make those changes by gaining invaluable practical experience in a new field, and really testing out whether a career change is workable.

You grow as a person

It’s not always easy to spend time with the disadvantaged and overlooked people of the world, but being in a foreign culture and creating bonds with strangers are just two of the ways international development volunteer programs contribute to your emotional growth and development while working on a project.
