Volunteer in Zambia
May 02, 2018by: Alyssa Strong - United StatesI loved volunteering with IVHQ! Their prices are affordable and they have programs all over the world to choose from. I had many questions before my trip, and they were prompt to respond to my emails and provided a lot of information on the website as well. I felt very prepared when I arrived at my program. While at my program they kept in touch with me to make sure I was enjoying it. They were willing to make any changes necessary to ensure I had a good experience. The program itself was incredible and I loved being able to work with the kids. After completing my project, they continued to thank me for my support and listened to my feedback. I hope that I can volunteer with IVHQ again someday!

The best experience of my life
July 23, 2025by: Nour Kandil - BrazilI am so so happy that I chose IVHQ for my first volunteering trip. As a solo traveler, choosing IVHQ was a great choice that surprised me in so many ways. Their support online and through the local coordinators, their readiness to help, how organized they are, the accommodation that felt like home, the local team that felt more like a family… everything was perfect to be honest, way beyond my expectations. I am looking forward to going on more trips with them and have already invited so many of my friends to do so.
