Volunteer Overseas

Volunteering overseas is a wonderful way to travel abroad, to expand your horizons, while at the same time making a contribution to a worthy cause. For many people, to travel just for travel’s sake is not enough.

When you volunteer overseas you get to know the people, their culture, their language, and their country in a way you can’t do as a backpacker or tourist.

By volunteering with Ecologia, you can make a real difference to the lives of the children and young people we support, as well as to the communities in which they live. And, with over 20 years experience of successfully placing volunteers abroad, you can rest assured that you will receive all the support you need – from the moment you apply right through until you return home.

What our volunteers say…

You guys, Ecologia Youth Trust, should really know how happy I am for all the help that you have given me. It’s been so informative and detailed. No matter what, I will recommend Ecologia to anyone I know considering doing volunteer work for an organisation. The way you have written has had such a reassuring effect on me during all these preparations.

Jamie Breidfjord - volunteer in 2016

A big thanks to Ecologia for the seemingly effortless way they helped oil the gears of the great visa, flights and co-ordination machine that would have otherwise swamped me. Their cheer and politeness has not gone unnoticed.
