Program Highlights

Working and living with some of Mongolia's nomads allows you to learn about a unique group of people and their ancient way of life through your own personal experiences.

Volunteers live with a family in large round tents known as Gers which are surprisingly cozy and comfortable.

Your daily life may include riding horses to move herds of yaks or cattle, caring for livestock, helping to produce dairy products such as butter and cheese and maybe teaching a little English.

It is a great way to learn more about this ancient way of life and how it is being affected by modern-day Mongolia.

In exchange for helping with the animals or playing with the children, your host family will fully involve you in their domestic life.
