What our volunteers are saying
Sidney Kannel | USA
Living and volunteering in the village has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. After just 4 short weeks, the place had truly become my home, and the people my family.
Craig Puttnam | UK
I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's a perfect way to travel and just an experience unlike any other, it'll likely stay with you for the rest of your life.
Janet Patry | USA
My project exceeded my every expectation - this was without a doubt the single greatest experience of my life!
Alicia Crossley | Australia
My volunteer experience in China was the best 8 weeks of my life. Be prepared to step outside your comfort zone and I can assure you that it is rewarding beyond words.
Hannah Pitts | Australia
I had the adventure of a lifetime teaching in Costa Rica. You have nothing to lose, a wealth of experience to gain; and most importantly, plenty to give.
Ashlee Grigg | Australia
IVHQ is a great way to meet friends, help out communities in a variety of ways and also travel the world at the same time!
Ollie Masterson | UK
I felt that it was time for a completely independent adventure, and I was keen to hopefully better someone else's life. The experience was absolutely life-changing.
Lydia MacLeod | Canada
I wouldn't trade this placement for the world right now. I am learning not only about this country, but about my home country and myself as well.
Steph Bewski | Canada
Exploring this breathtaking country and working together with other incredible volunteers from around the world has given me the opportunity of a lifetime.
