Volunteer Work with Children
Volunteering to work with children abroad is a popular volunteer travel option for travellers with a genuine fondness of children who want to experience a life-changing opportunity to help develop underprivileged children’s skills and equip them for a brighter future in further education. Whether you choose to volunteer with children in Africa, Asia, or South America, we offer volunteer work with children in over 20 countries, so you’re sure to find the volunteer project in a country that suits you.



We work closely with local communities in some of the poorest pockets of the earth, allowing travellers to benefit children greatly during a gap year, career break or summer internship abroad, while building invaluable life experience and exploring a beautiful country! Our volunteers can find themselves undertaking community work with children in Moshi, Kenya, working with children in Nakuru or working with children in China, helping to develop children in Sri Lanka or working with AIDS orphans in Mombasa, Kenya. There are so many volunteer with children projects to choose from, our volunteers really are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding which overseas volunteer with children placement to embark on!
