Projects Abroad - International Volunteering and Career Exploration
 

Join Projects Abroad for your summer break. Volunteer programs operate in seventeen different countries around the world. You can join for anything from a month to a year. You decide!

 

Choose your own dates and duration. The programs run all year round.

 

Projects Abroad has worked with the NSHSS so that you get the best program for you as well as the best price. Members can join the programs at reduced prices.

 

Projects Abroad has expert staff in every destination so that someone is able to help you out when you get overseas. Each destination has been selected carefully with your safety and security in mind.

 

Summer programs are a popular option. You can spend your summer helping whether it be on an archaeological dig in Romania, teaching at a summer school in Togo or working with turtles in Mexico. You decide how long you want to go away for and where you want to go.

 

There is no need for teaching or language qualifications. You will be fully supported by local staff when you arrive. You will receive a full induction on arrival.

 

This is what some volunteers have said when they got home.

  

“The most exciting thing just happened - about fifteen minutes ago I delivered a baby!!!!  I actually got to do the whole thing myself, pull it out, cut the cord, wash the baby etc.  It was the most amazing thing I have ever done in my whole life, such an incredible experience!  It was a boy!”

 Claudia Raperport working at the Raja Clinic, Puliangudi, Southern India

  

“The students at the school are really very sweet.  They absolutely love BINGO which I use to practice numbers and new vocabulary.  I think what they really enjoy is all the little presents I took with me from home which I keep presenting to the winner!  I have found the groups of students friendly, enthusiastic and eager to please.”

Karen Siegel teaching at School 63 in Kiev, Ukraine

 

“There are so many things that stick out in my mind as memorable.  In Guadalajara the thing was meeting other volunteers and all doing things together – eating tacos together, travelling eight in a taxi, seven in a hammock, making a human pyramid and eating far too many marshmallows all spring to mind!  I met some really cool people, who I definitely want to see again.”

Katy Warner living life to the full in Guadalajara, Mexico

 

“Every morning when I woke up inside my mosquito net and remembered I was in the Amazon cloud forest (paradise on earth) I couldn’t help grinning”

Caroline St Johnston working on a conservation project in Peru

 

“Living with a family gives you a real insight into the culture and behaviour of people.  I was living in a typical Peruvian house – no hot water, guinea pigs living in the kitchen and an open fire to cook on – it doesn’t get any better than that!”

Emily Godsiffe working on the Inca Projects program in Peru
