Learn more about volunteering abroad in England!

Volunteering abroad in England combines real English life (afternoon tea and all) with rewarding community development projects. Volunteer opportunities include working with children, the disabled, the homeless and troubled families. Volunteers can also glimpse the Queen at Buckingham Palace, contemplate the mystery of Stonehenge and wander aimlessly through England’s pastures green. Volunteer projects happen all around the small island and volunteers can choose to be placed in a quaint, peaceful fishing village, in an industrial city of the north, or in the buzz of London town. Working in such a diverse community and culture will expose volunteers to a rich recipe of experiences, giving them an even deeper understanding and appreciation of life abroad. As volunteers you will also experience excellent training that will benefit any career you pursue.

Volunteer programs generally run between six and 12 months but each program is unique so look through the providers below to see which one suits you best. Each one has a convenient fact box to help you make some quick decisions. England, with its diverse culture and rich history, is bound to be an incredible experience for any volunteer. Cheers and good luck!
