What our volunteers are saying
Jessica Barrett | UK
There was a great mix of ages and nationalities and I was honestly surprised by what an amazing and truly rewarding experience it turned out to be.
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.
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.
