Volunteer Abroad & Make a REAL Difference - From US$175!

Find out why more and more people are choosing to become a Love Volunteer! Love Volunteers is the most affordable way to volunteer and help local communities in developing countries! Why are we cheaper than other organisations? Firstly, we are just a handful of passionate people working hard to help volunteers and local communities around the world. We don't have huge overheads - no company cars, no downtown office - we're just volunteers who knew we could do a better job. Secondly, we work with local organisations wherever we can to keep administration costs to a minimum and also to feed as much money and skills into the local communities where we operate. All of Love Volunteers partner organisations have been fully vetted to ensure that, not only does a genuine need for assistance exist, but that the environments that we place our volunteers are safe and of high quality. Choose from one or more of our 200+ amazing community-based programs in 37 developing countries around the world. Every program has been personally visited by one of our dedicated staff members and is regularly audited to ensure it meets our high standards in terms of safety, sustainability, and local impact.

GIVE Laos: Community Empowerment & Wildlife Conservation

​Explore the best-kept secret in Southeast Asia, meditate with monks, volunteer in regenerative farming, swim in magical waterfalls, and immerse yourself in Lao culture! The Laos Experience is a perfect combination of white-knuckle adventure, cultural immersion, meaningful volunteer work, and, last but not least, moon bears! Project work focuses on improving the lives of these amazing creatures and protecting them, while also supporting rural communities through education and Eco-Friendly Infrastructure projects. Integrate yourself fully into a Buddhist monastery as local monks teach you about the ancient practice of meditation. Wake up to the sunrise on the riverbank, surrounded by the stunning mountainous landscape of Northern Laos. Round out your expedition by kayaking to remote villages and trekking through rice paddies and jungle paths to a hidden waterfall! Come and see for yourself why Laos is the best-kept secret in Southeast Asia! After volunteering in Laos, extend your trip for 11 days with our Scuba Marine Conservation Add-on in Southern Thailand! Or, mix and match with any of our Southeast Asia trips to travel for up to 7 weeks!

GIVE did it again with giving me a second 10/10 trip! The Laos team is nothing short of AMAZING, inspiring, and smart and I am grateful to have gotten to travel with them and learn from them all. Being in the village of Sop Chem was special as I became close to several locals and had the privilege of gaining knowledge of their culture. Beginning with breakfast and ending the day with “good vibes” this organization does one incredible job establishing a personalized and thoughtful itinerary for us travelers. It was an amazing experience working with locals while constructing a road and teaching English to the students of Sop Chem! I also appreciate the pay now, book later option making trips like these more accessible for college students like me! Thanks again GIVE, looking forward to Tanzania and Zanzibar!
