World Endeavors offers exciting programs that allow participants to experience Indonesia while meaningfully contributing to the community. Volunteers can choose from various immersive, unique, and rewarding community engagement projects like Relief & Reconstruction, Mangrove Conservation, IT Skills Training for Balinese high school students, or Komodo Dragon Conservation! Indonesia, a Southeast Asian nation made up of thousands of volcanic islands, is home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. It is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and jungles sheltering elephants, tigers, and Komodo dragons. Bali is an island of pristine beaches, surfing, and diving, lush mountains, never-ending rice terraces and volcanic hillsides, and spiritually infused culture.

Discover how modern medicine and traditional healing methods collide as you lend a hand with community service healthcare projects in Bali, Indonesia. This program gives you a well-rounded view of the multi-faceted components of public health. Meet with medical students to discuss the challenges of implementing public health awareness in developing communities and learn how to conduct a home health visit. Shadow the local medical students during their home visits and assist with checking blood pressure, recording data, managing supplies, and educating local families about preventative care. Visit a midwife clinic founded by the 2011 CNN Hero of the Year. Support a project that offers free prenatal care, birthing services, and medical aid to anyone who needs it. Make friends with Balinese youth while developing creative lesson plans and teach the children about hygiene, exercise, and nutrition during our fun and interactive healthcare workshops.

Join us for the adventure of a lifetime! Volunteers For Peace (a Vermont-based nonprofit) can place you on a team of international volunteers who contribute to a meaningful community service project designed, planned, and hosted by local partners. We offer the most affordable projects and the best way to meet people from all over the world. Work project types vary by country but may include environmental and wildlife conservation, historic preservation, educational and language learning, archaeology, organic farming, and arts and festivals. We also have social services projects, which could involve working with children, the elderly, or refugees. Projects are designed to combine service with recreational activities and cultural exchange – whether by visiting local beaches, learning local dances, meeting local officials, or volunteering with residents at the place you’re visiting. Each project is unique, but all bring people together for the most meaningful travel experience imaginable. Please note that VFP can only place US Citizens. This is due to our agreements with our international partners.

The placement is in local schools, where you will teach hygiene and basic healthcare practices. Qualified healthcare professionals may be able to help set up and conduct health camps, including dental checkups and general assessments in schools. However, please check with us first. Nutritionists and naturopaths can implement classes on healthy eating, the healthy plate concept, exercise, and the importance of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in processed sugar. The program also involves basic first aid and personal hygiene education, such as washing hands, brushing teeth, and general cleanliness. This may seem trivial to those raised in Western societies; however, these services greatly assist in preventing many avoidable health problems and easily communicable diseases in developing communities. You will spend 1-2 hours each morning preparing lessons and about 2-3 hours in the afternoon teaching at a local elementary, high school, or university.
