Career break volunteer projects

We offer a diverse range of extremely rewarding career break volunteer projects in over 25 countries throughout the world. As well as enabling you to ‘make a difference' whilst you are travelling career break volunteer projects also provide you with a far more authentic and ‘real' travel experience. This is because career break volunteer projects involve working closely with local people on a daily basis - providing you with a unique insight in to local culture.

Because there are so many career break volunteer projects to choose from it's worth putting aside an hour or two in order to explore the website and read up on all of the various voluntary work abroad. Alternatively, if you would prefer to discuss career break volunteer projects with someone in person, you can always speak to a travel adviser - who will be able to help point you in the direction of the programme that most matches your interests and requirements.

In order to get you thinking, our ‘Career break volunteer projects' page takes a brief look at the type of programmes that are available

Career break volunteer projects - Volunteer with Children

Some of the most rewarding career break volunteer projects are those which help to provide care and support to disadvantaged people or communities. It's important to remember that being able to travel the world is a privilege many people in the countries you visit will never experience - and people-based career break volunteer projects provide the perfect opportunity to ‘give something back' to those less fortunate than yourself. By doing so you will also get to know local people on a far more intimate level (and many of the people you meet on this type of career break voluntary work is often truly inspirational). There are people-based career break volunteer projects looking for enthusiastic volunteers all over the world - from projects providing support to street kids in South America to AIDS organisations in Africa.

Career break volunteer projects - Wildlife conservation

Some of our most popular career break volunteer projects are our wildlife conservation programmes. This type of career break volunteer project enables you to get close to some incredible wildlife whilst at the same time helping with the ongoing fight to try and ensure that some of the world's most beautiful creatures aren't lost forever. We have some superb wildlife conservation career break volunteer projects throughout the globe - from the savannahs of Africa to the rainforests of South America.

Career break volunteer projects - Environmental conservation

If you are passionate about caring for the environment there are also plenty of rewarding career break volunteer projects in this field too. For example you could head out to Ecuador's Galapagos Islands in order to help raise awareness of environmental issues amongst the local population or travel Down Under and work as a Conservation Volunteer Australia
