A Guide to Volunteering Abroad for 7-12 Months
Why volunteer for 7-12 months?
Any time spent volunteering is a worthwhile experience, but the advantage of long term volunteering is that you get to connect on a deeper level with the communities you are helping. Rather than swooping in for a short project, you will become a part of the community’s everyday life. Not only does this allow you to form close relationships, it also allows you to have a local travel experience as you adjust to a brand new daily life.
If you love the idea of waking up like a local on the other side of the world, and getting up to help your new community, then taking the chance to volunteer abroad for 7-12 months is perfect for you. By the end of your experience, you will build strong relationships (with the community and with your fellow volunteers), discover a new perspective (or even a new purpose!), and maybe even open your eyes to new possible career paths.
