The 100 Best Volunteer Vacations to Enrich Your Life

volunteer organizations

This listing of volunteer organizations is divided into two sections. The first section contains a list of organizations—both nonprofits and businesses, including all of those listed in this book plus additional ones—that offer a wide range of international volunteer opportunities. For example, they go to South Africa to save sharks, to Poland to save orphans, and to Vietnam to save habitat. The second section divides the vacations into themes, so if you know you love animals, you can find something to do with, say, chimps or elephants; if you prefer to spend your time banging nails, you can focus on construction; or if you’d rather work with children, there are specific options for doing that as well.

GENERAL, OVERALL ORGANIZATIONS THAT COVER THE WORLD

This first section is devoted to volunteer outfits whose sole mission—their expertise, if you will—is to find worthy causes and projects and recruit volunteers to work on them. Most of them have been doing this for some time. They’re good at handling logistics, answering questions, and quelling fears that volunteers might have about malaria or being met at the airport. Some of these organizations house volunteers with host families, all of whom have been carefully screened. Others have built their own apartments, staffed by an in-country team. For this handling of details—usually including meals and everything else you’ll need while there—these organizations charge volunteers to, well, volunteer. But you can rest easy, knowing you’re going with pros.
