Further information on Volunteering Abroad
It’s possible to combine volunteering with travelling abroad and it can be a really rewarding and beneficial experience. There are a lot of companies that organise and run experiences like this but it is worth bearing in mind that there is a fee for a lot of these which is sometimes quite substantial.
Because such opportunities involve a lot of factors, such as travelling abroad, accommodation requirements, transport, visa requirements and others it is more complicated than volunteering in the UK.
A lot of opportunities are offered by either international organisations based abroad or UK organisations who work with local projects in various countries.
Because of this, VE @ Keele are unable to look into individual projects and roles or promote them on our volunteering database apart from Vesl who are a trusted Keele Students Union Partner
Therefore, we strongly suggest that you do some research to decide if volunteering abroad sounds right for you.
Volunteering England offers some useful information and has produced an information sheet you can download here.
Direct Gov also has helpful information to help you de decide if volunteering abroad is the right thing for you.
There’s also some useful information about ethical volunteering available at www.ethicalvolunteering.org. Take a look at this is you are interested in international volunteering and want to make sure that what you do is of value to yourself and the people you work with.
There are so many more volunteering opportunities avaliable. Please get in touch with me for for further details of what you are interested in and I will try and match you with the right opportunity!
