Volunteer through Projects Abroad
January 23, 2026by: CaleighThe projects abroad team are so welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful both prior departure and upon arrival in Kenya. They assisted me with all questions and changes to my program with willingness and efficiency. The program is so beautiful, rewarding and eye opening. The school welcomes you with wide arms and everyone is willing to share information and stories with you. The children always have a smile and just want to be in your company. If you want to volunteer choose projects abroad!!
Nepal rhino conservation
December 06, 2025by: DanI did the projects abroad rhino conservation project for three weeks starting in November 2025. Projects abroad were helpful from the beginning and made me feel very welcomed and safe. Sovit who organised and travelled with me in the days was very friendly and knowledgable about the local wildlife and area. We saw some amazing wildlife including elephants, rhinos and crocodiles and so much more ! The typical volunteering was collecting data on species and their population numbers. Although there wasn’t much to do in your free time the accommodation and local area were beautiful and the locals were so friendly. The project went by so quickly !
Where your younger self thrives
November 19, 2025by: Jarlyn AlvarezProgram: Projects Abroad in Ghana
My experience in Ghana through Projects Abroad has been truly transformative. The support before and during my trip was excellent, and my placement at Merotn & Everett LLP offered meaningful, hands-on legal work that challenged me and helped me grow both personally and professionally. I felt welcomed by my host family and the local community, and I learned so much about the culture, legal system, and daily life in Accra. This program exceeded my expectations and has had a lasting impact on my career path and confidence. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity.

While taking a gap year between undergrad and (hopefully!) med school, I was in contact with one of my best friends. She was working in the Peace Corps, and she inspired me to step out of my comfort zone to do some hands-on, much-needed volunteer work in a developing country.
