5 Top Places to Volunteer Abroad


Volunteering abroad is a great way to see the world while also contributing to society. You get to immerse yourself in local cultures and experience the buzz of really making a difference. You can prepare yourself for volunteering abroad by brushing up on your language skills and by checking out courses at providers such as courses.com.au which can help prepare you for community work. Of course, you also need to decide where to go. Here are some top volunteering destinations abroad which should help to inspire you.

Peru

As more of the population of Peru moves from rural areas into cities, so this creates issues in both areas. Volunteers can provide help in areas such as medical assistance, English teaching, construction and jungle conservation. There is plenty of work for volunteers to do in this diverse and fascinating country.

Costa Rica

Volunteers have a range of opportunities within the lush green landscape of Costa Rica. For instance, they can help with after school care, carry out construction work or help to protect local species such as the sea turtle. Volunteering in this country gives people the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the Spanish language and get to know more about the local culture.

India

India is one of the most popular destinations when it comes to volunteering abroad. This is a country where billions of people live in close proximity to each other. The size of the population brings challenges such as severe poverty issues and damaging environmental issues such as chemical pollution. There is much that can be done by volunteers in India, including helping to provide housing and clean water for the population.

USA

The USA is a more developed country than some which welcome volunteers. However, there are still plenty of opportunities for people to be of help. For instance, in many underprivileged areas there is the opportunity to get involved with motivating and inspiring young people. The USA is also prone to experiencing hurricanes. When this happens, there is an opportunity for volunteers to help deal with the after effects.

South Korea

South Korea is an advanced country when it comes to communication technology. However there is a huge gap between the well-off and the poor. There is also huge demand on South Korea caused by the influx of North Korean refugees. Given these challenges, there is plenty of opportunity for volunteers to be of assistance. One of the most popular roles that volunteers
undertake is that of an English tutor for people who cannot afford tuition from other sources.

These are five of the top destinations when it comes to volunteering abroad. They all provide their own unique opportunities for helping to improve the lives of the local community. This means that volunteers can spend some time getting to know a foreign country while also benefiting from the experience of helping others. Hopefully, you now have the inspiration required to help you choose a volunteering destination.
