What our volunteers are saying
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.
