Counseling Volunteer Programs

Counseling centers and social work institutions, especially in underprivileged areas, often face severe staff shortages. If you're studying counseling or social work and want hands-on experience, volunteering abroad offers many opportunities. Whether your focus is on schools, families, or specific areas like rehabilitation, volunteering internationally allows you to apply your skills where they’re needed most.
