What is volunteer work abroad?

  • Volunteer work abroad means that you work abroad for a certain period of time at a foreign project or organization to help, learn or transfer knowledge.
  • You usually do not receive any compensation for your work in the form of salary, expense allowance or room and board.
  • Projects that have little or no income themselves will generally ask volunteers for compensation for the guidance or for the room and board provided.
  • In the case of an intermediary organization, this compensation can also be made via the intermediary organization.

Why should you volunteer abroad?

  • To help others with your efforts and skills.
  • To support projects or goals that you consider important in your life.
  • To gain experience in your own field of work, or in the sector where you may want to work later.
  • To see yourself at work in a different environment.
  • To be able to work in another area and see if you like it.
  • To use as a stepping stone to a local job with salary.
  • Because you don't think it's necessary for a project to incur extra costs for your presence while they really need every dime.
  • Because you have already raised money for the project or organization where you will be working

What do you need if you want to do volunteer work abroad?

  • Flexibility: you already need some form of flexibility, the rest you gain during your stay abroad.
  • Ability to communicate: depending on the type of work, you will need to have a reasonable to good command of the local language.
  • Independence and/or self-confidence: you already need a certain form of independence, and this will increase your self-confidence.
  • Being environmentally aware: an important element for your stay abroad.
  • Collaboration: also abroad it is important that you learn, or are able to, collaborate when you work with others.
  • Be organizationally aware.
  • Empathy.

  • If you are looking for volunteer work and are traveling for the first time as a 'woman alone': Australia - New Zealand - Argentina - Ecuador - Costa Rica - Thailand - Indonesia. - Nepal - Ghana

To what extent are you insured for the risks of volunteering abroad?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when volunteering abroad, or at least you should carefully check your insured situation.
    • Local organizations usually offer no, or very limited, insurance.
    • There is a risk of accidents, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience.
    • During your volunteer work abroad where you receive more than €190 per month in compensation (or, for example, food and housing), your Dutch health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured against illness and accidents.

Activities abroad

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
