Volunteer Programs Abroad and Voluntourism with Worldpackers

What is Voluntourism?

Voluntourism is traveling as a volunteer to do a help exchange in social projects, local communities, or NGOs. Travelers can find volunteer work programs based on projects they'd like to support, causes they'd like to be a part of, or specific skills they'd like to share. Volunteer opportunities may vary from host to host, but teaching languages, child care, and community work are some of the most popular and in-demand volunteer positions.
