Festival Volunteer Programs Abroad

Year after year, festivals all around the world depend on the devoted work of volunteers, both international and local, to make sure every part of the festival goes off without a hitch. Though it may seem like all fun and games while you are in attendance, there is actually a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes in order to make festivals run smoothly and successfully. Volunteering at a festival abroad is your opportunity to earn free admittance, get a unique backstage view into how festivals run, and experience the excitement of another culture’s revelry.

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.
