NGO Volunteer – Vietnam

Volunteering with a non-government organization is one of the most exciting ways to get involved in Vietnam. These groups provide highly specialized services that are making a serious impact on local communities. The opportunity to help and see lives being changed firsthand is something that stays with volunteers for a life time. Given the specialized nature of the services provided by these NGOs, volunteers are required to help with more general tasks, such as helping to craft proposals, seeking out international partners, developing English proficiency within the NGO office, and editing documents that have been translated into English. Friends For Asia currently works with four different NGOs in Vietnam: a Sustainable Development NGO, Community Development NGO, Management Development NGO, and Support for the Blind NGO.
