Volunteering Opportunities Abroad

Volunteering opportunities abroad with VSO place skilled professionals in the heart of communities that are in need of their support.

VSO has over 50 years of experience as a leading independent volunteer organisation, which sends volunteers to work in programmes in 42 developing countries around the world.

VSO has an expansive vision for fighting global poverty that includes skill sharing, education, and raising global awareness.

Volunteering opportunities abroad include health care, education, HIV/AIDS prevention and care, disability aid, governance and livelihood support.

Although volunteering opportunities abroad deeply impact developing countries in a positive manner, they also have the potential to re-shape the world view of participating volunteers.

Escape the UK for a while and enjoy living and working in any one of the forty the countries around the world that we work in.
