Human Rights Volunteer Programs

Facing the injustices of the world in an honest way is not an easy or heart-warming task to say the least; it is extremely difficult to stare injustice in the face and take on the task of effectively overcoming impediments which stand in the way of equality. However, it is a task that is required for the world, nations, and communities to progress, therefore volunteering abroad for human rights projects is a very popular international volunteer placement. Volunteers who are ready to accept the challenge and engage with local communities to uphold the rights of all or promote the rights of a specific group, will truly make a difference through human rights volunteering.

A Guide to Human Rights Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer in Human Rights

The world has come a long way in establishing certain rights for all human beings, so that every individual can be treated with a certain level of fundamental dignity. But there remains much work to be done in the field of human rights in many nations. By volunteering abroad for human rights, volunteers will have the rare chance to make a tangible, positive, and lasting impact on foreign communities. Actions speak louder than words, quite literally in the case of human rights movements, so stand up and take action in whatever area interests you!

IVHQ Christmas Program in Guatemala

November 26, 2025by: Patty Urda - United StatesProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

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.
