Volunteer in Asia and discover different cultures, new traditions and diverse landscapes of this vibrant continent. Some regions have a strong Eastern identity, others have strong Western influences, and others have a combination of the both.
Our programs are available in many regions and cover a variety of interests. Whether you want to volunteer in Asia during your gap year, career break or as a volunteer vacation, you will find a program and a region to suit your interests!
Asia has many different regions with distinct cultural, historical, and religious identities. Projects Abroad arranges placements throughout much of Asia and our programs are incredibly diverse in terms of the type of work that you can do. You can teach English in China, care for children in Vietnam or Nepal, preserve the environment in Thailand live and learn from a Nomadic family in Mongolia, and more!
While you do volunteer work in Asia, you will also have free time, giving you the opportunity to travel and tour other regions. Whether you want to white-water raft in the foaming glacial rivers in Nepal or sample local dishes in Shanghai, we can guarantee one thing: that you won't get bored!
The experience continues from your work to your living accommodations. Everyone on a volunteer placement with Projects Abroad in Asia has the opportunity to live with a host family. You will find them incredibly welcoming and they will doubtless be eager to find out all about you and your life back home. Take plenty of photos with you and be prepared for lots of questions!
Building volunteer placements involve some of the most important work needed in developing communities, including setting up basic infrastructure. Volunteering to building schools, libraries, and homes lays a foundation that supports locals even after your volunteer work abroad has ended.
Care volunteers work in care centres, kindergartens, and special needs clinics around the world. You will help children get ready in the morning, play games, assist with homework and mealtimes, etc. These are very well-rounded volunteer placements that allow you to bring your own interests and passions in to share with the children.
Conservation and Environment projects focus on preserving some of the most beautiful and vulnerable ecosystems around the world. Whether you are volunteering in a rainforest, on the coast, or in a nature reserve, you will be working alongside our dedicated local staff to protect the area and raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
Culture & Community projects in Asia allow volunteers to learn and help while being immersed in the lives and traditions countries in Asia. The typed of projects vary, but they focus on immersion into a vibrant new culture and ways to give back to their chosen host community.
Sports volunteer programs are popular with those who have a background in playing or coaching football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, water sports and more. Sports bring people together and help build strong communities, as well as contribute to the creation of healthy, happy individuals.
Teaching volunteers work alongside local teachers in any of the destinations where we work. You do not need to have previous experience, just energy, enthusiasm, and patience. You can teach English to students or adults, and if you have the necessary skills you could also volunteer to teach French, IT, music, or sports.
