Looking for an exotic adventure, a rewarding experience, or both? Volunteer on the island previously named by the Portuguese as Ilha Formosa, or Beautiful Island - better known today as Taiwan. A lesser-explored destination for Westerners, Taiwan offers wild coasts, teeming metropolises and a fascinating Chinese culture. Volunteer in Taiwan with organizations in the industrial cities of Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung, or spend your time in countryside villages tutoring rural children. There are dozens of opportunities to have a meaningful volunteering experience in the beautiful and rugged island of Taiwan.

Volunteers looking for positions in conservation can easily find placement in Taiwan with ecological organizations. Volunteer to help protect sea turtles annually returning to Taiwan’s coasts, or work with environmental organizations to conserve Taiwan’s dense jungles and wildlife population. If working with people is more your thing, no problem. Volunteer with middle school students by teaching them English, build relationships with disadvantaged children in Taiwan’s orphanages, or tutor adults who are learning English. Taiwan’s unique mixture of urban progression, warm culture and traditional Chinese tradition make it an exceptional volunteer destination.
