Volunteer Programs in Bali, Indonesia

Bali consists of far more than its natural beauty and luxurious amenities. The people are what make this region truly beautiful. The Balinese are generous, caring, and anxious to interact with international volunteers. In this tourist hotspot, many of the villages and impoverished communities get overlooked, and as a result there are various areas in need of attention. For those with a desire to volunteer abroad in a tropical destination, a chance to experience Asian culture and impact an underrepresented community awaits volunteers in Bali. Volunteering in Bali is surely a match made in tropical heaven.

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Bali

Volunteering in Bali

Community Development. Many volunteers do not have a specific task in mind but rather just a heart to serve. For volunteers who can relate to this, a community development volunteer placement in Bali is a great match. These placements allow volunteers to improve communities in a number of ways. Responsibilities can range from rebuilding houses in impoverished villages to assisting at a local medical clinic to teaching at a local school. 

All backgrounds are welcome for these projects. A unique characteristic of this type of opportunity is that it sometimes allows volunteers to road trip and experience many communities. A community development opportunity is fantastic for those who classify themselves as versatile, flexible, and passionate.

Orphanage. Children’s homes in Bali are longing for volunteers to come assist with the many precious lives they care for. While no specific background is required, those who have studied or are interested in social services are given precedence. Those who move forward with these types of projects will help fulltime staff manage the daily routine of the children. Volunteers will be responsible for coordinating activities, teaching English, and pouring out love into the children's lives. Orphanage volunteer placements in Bali are highly desired and greatly enjoyed by all who want to volunteer with children.

Wildlife Conservation. The beautiful region of Bali is known for its beaches and natural wonders. Individuals who are considering volunteering in Bali likely have a deep appreciation for nature. Unfortunately, conservation and environmental awareness is not as prevalent in Indonesia as it is in Western nations. 

One unique opportunity for volunteering in Bali is specifically focusing on turtle conservation and protecting their natural habitat. Volunteers will have the opportunity to rehabilitate turtles who have been captured mistakenly by fishers, provide educational opportunities for the community on wildlife conservation, and conduct research projects. Those who desire to hold a career in marine biology or related areas of study will especially enjoy this type of volunteer work in Bali.

Trip of a lifetime!

Absolutely loved the six weeks I had at gili shark conservation, I was kind of worried because six weeks is a decent length of time but I couldn't have been happier, in fact take me back!!! The accommodation was amazing, the hospitality and welcoming attitude from everyone really made it feel like a home away from home. Not only that but the conservation work itself was so fun!!! I really enjoyed cleaning the hex domes and turtle ID dives. 100/10 experience :)
