So you've decided to spend some time volunteering abroad but don't know where to start. Make your first stop All Study Abroad's website, which has great tools for researching and comparing study abroad programs. We'll tell you our top 3 dream volunteer locations, and you can take it from there!
1. South Africa
No language training needed! For the adventurous wildlife lovers among us, amazing volunteer opportunities exist in South Africa. Photograph wildlife, compile data on cheetahs, and befriend the mighty elephant while volunteering in this magical country. Great placements are to be found doing social work, helping the poor, and more in South Africa as well.
2. Guatemala
Guatemala is probably our #1 destination to learn Spanish on a budget. Volunteering in Guatemala will save you even more money, while further immersing yourself in the culture and language. It is also top-rated in language learning because of the clear Guatemalan accent. Opportunities exist all over this Central American country, from working with wildlife in Peten, to the beautiful colonial city, Antigua. Be sure to schedule enough time to see the breathtaking ruins of Tikal, the non-stop colorful markets of Chichi, and gorgeous Lake Atitlan!
3. Argentina
Head south of the Equator to Argentina for an unequaled volunteer experience! A wide variety of volunteer placements can be found in Argentina, ranging from social work to education, to environmental projects and even business and professional projects as well. Don't forget to take some tango lessons while volunteering in this diverse and beautiful country.
