Volunteer Abroad Under 18s Volunteering

Under 18s Volunteer Projects

Volunteer under the age of 18 and take the opportunity to support projects abroad and get a whole new life experience...

Volunteer under the age of 18 and take the opportunity to support projects abroad and get a whole new life experience. For young people aged between 16 and 18, this is the perfect time to start volunteering. Share your time with volunteers in the same age group and get the most out of your time.

As a volunteer under 18, you are doing good by supporting animal welfare in African and Asian countries, working on turtle conservation in Costa Rica, encouraging local community programs in South America or providing essential help by building schools in Africa. Your age should never be a reason for not attending projects abroad, so get up and volunteer on a global scale!
