Projects Abroad is the leading global organiser of overseas voluntary work placements. Our projects run year-round and are incredibly flexible – you can even volunteer abroad for as little as 2 weeks. With over 500 staff worldwide, volunteers will benefit from the support and back up that Projects Abroad provide both at home and overseas. 

We have a huge variety of projects available, including: Teaching, Care, Conservation, Culture & Community, Sports, Medicine & Healthcare, Electives, Journalism, Business, Law & Human Rights, Archaeology, Veterinary medicine, Animal care and Language courses.

Projects Abroad also offer professionals the opportunity to utilise their skills through a new initiative called Projects Abroad PRO.

With placements in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the South Pacific, volunteers can enjoy adventurous foreign travel and make a positive contribution within a developing country.
