Volunteer Programs in Amman, Jordan

An urban metropolis buzzing with youthful vitality, Amman’s location amongst Middle Eastern culture and Roman ruins make it a special brand of ancient-meets-modern and East-meets-West. Translation: this city has a special brand of causes, too. We’re talking refugees from neighboring countries and families in poverty who haven’t kept pace with the city’s changing identity. If you’re looking for volunteer opportunity-meets-cultural transformation then look no further than this modern Middle Eastern hub. Volunteering abroad in Amman will certainly check off all your boxes.

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Amman

Why Volunteer Abroad in Amman?

There are a lot of people fleeing Syria—and a lot of them are in Amman, needing help. Volunteers in Amman have opportunities ranging from playing sports with vulnerable youth, to distributing food vouchers and helping with refugee relief. Volunteer projects in Amman don’t stop there: if you’re less about the people and more about the planet, there are environmental opportunities when you volunteer abroad Amman, too.

Juxtaposing centuries of history with the growing metropolis’s budding new life, nonprofit and tourist eyes alike are focusing in on this city, making volunteer programs in Amman increasingly sought after. You know some of the big names, such as UN Volunteers and USAID, but there’s a bounty of grassroots causes, too. What’s more, as a volunteer in Amman you’ll be able to check out the Temple of Hercules, savor some baklava, relax at a hookah bar, or pay your respects at one of the city’s 6,000 mosques.

IVHQ Christmas Program in Guatemala

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.
