Are you a working professional looking for volunteer travel ideas that let you do something really important? Planning a sabbatical from your job to help you gain new perspectives and inspiration? Seeking a short-term internship experience abroad to learn about international issues in health, education, or social services?

If this sounds like you, a TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION  program may be just the experience you’re looking for.

If you can spare just two weeks, though hopefully more consider our TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION for Working Professionals. Thousands of people participate in volunteer travel each year to have what many say is “the experience of a lifetime”. Our programs will make a real difference while experiencing another culture like never before. Our start dates are available year-round, and you can let us know which field you want to work.

If you only have a week, then Insight Abroad is perfect for you. This volunteer travel program has the same design elements as our longer programs, but is created specifically for three kinds of adult travelers:

• Those who are traveling on precious vacation time and only have a week.

• Those who are traveling for longer than a week, but whose plans only allow a week’s time for volunteering.

• Those who are interested in volunteering for a long period of time, but who first want to try a week of volunteering to see if it is what they want. If you fall into this category, we recommend that you do try to volunteer for at least two weeks in order to get a true feel for how exciting long-term volunteering can be.

If you are a looking for a more in-depth work experience abroad, check out our No matter where you are in your career, the work experience is a great addition to your resume. If you’re unsure about which volunteer program to choose, we recommend enrolling in Volunteer Abroad.

No matter which program you choose, we’ve designed an international volunteer experience with our volunteers’ diverse interests in mind. The combination of volunteer work, cultural activities, and free time means that you’ll experience the community at a deeper level than you ever could have imagined.

Volunteering with TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION  during your “gap year” between school and university, or at the end of university before starting your career is truly the experience of a lifetime. You’ll find that your time volunteering will be both meaningful and memorable, as it offers the chance to work side-by-side with local people and experience another culture like never before. Volunteering during your gap year is also ideal before embarking on independent travel.

If you’re thinking about volunteering during your gap year, our TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION  allows you the flexibility of choosing any program in our site, start dates year-round, and programs from 1-12 weeks long. A personalized volunteer placement ensures that your skills and interests are matched with the needs of the community.

Volunteering during your gap year is also an invaluable opportunity to gain international work experience, plan a new career path, or simply learn more about international issues in health, education, or social services.

Whichever program you choose for your gap year, you’ll enjoy an international volunteer experience with your interests and needs in mind. The unique combination of volunteer work, cultural activities, and free time means that you’ll experience the community at a deeper level than you ever could have imagined. TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION  provides you with unparalleled support so that, in addition to leaving a meaningful contribution in the local community, you can achieve your personal goals too.

Volunteering abroad is a rich learning experience for teenagers and a great way for teens to use time off from high school to travel, learn about other cultures, and do community service.

Teens under 18 years old can volunteer in Tanzania with family or in a chaperoned high school or community group of six or more teens (read more about our age policy). Teens may choose from start dates for 2-12 weeks offered throughout the year.

Summer Teen Volunteer Program

In Summer, teens 15-17 years old can travel independently or in a group on our Teen Volunteer program. TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATION  in-country staff will serve as chaperones for 9-day or 2-week programs offered in Tanzania.

Many TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZATION  alumni who volunteered as a family on our programs say that it is a unique opportunity to bond together in an experience that combines travel, volunteering, and immersion in another culture. Our TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZATION  provides the greatest flexibility with start dates year-round, and personalized volunteer work placements. For families with limited vacation time, our one-week program is ideal. In just one week, the family volunteers together on a group project, working side-by side with the local community and gaining insight and perspectives into the local culture and themselves. Teenagers also have the option of enrolling in our teens-only program.

We believe that volunteering abroad in a TANZANIA VOLUNTEERS ORGANIZATION  can be life-changing for all who experience it, but perhaps this is even truer for volunteer families with young family members who are just starting to form their views of the world. We welcome the opportunity to help children and teenagers experience other cultures and participate in meaningful volunteer work.

If your family volunteers as a group of six or more, you are eligible for discounts on the program fee.
