Volunteering overseas is the chance for you to make a personal contribution at the global level, to experience hands-on learning about another country and culture, and to exchange ideas with people you might not otherwise meet. As an international volunteer, you will learn from the communities in which you work and from the experience of traveling in the country and interacting with new people.

What would motivate people to leave the comfort of their homes and travel to a remote area to help people they have never seen before and will probably never see again?

The overall motivation to volunteer abroad generally stems from a need to ignite a sense of social responsibility and activism, as well as from a desire to learn about a new country and culture. For some, international volunteering is also a way to gain a new perspective of the world and a renewed sense of the role they play within it.

International volunteer work can be an intense experience, with opportunities to focus on meaningful global concerns that day-to-day life can't accommodate.
