Media Volunteer Programs

Have you dreamed about being a journalist on the verge of the next big headline? Have you always wanted to be a part of solving a major global issue? Becoming a media volunteer abroad is your opportunity to tackle global concerns head on! The passion you have for journalism, photography, and videography (why choose one?!) will grow with every project you work on. Enhance your portfolio while tackling burdensome social issues in other parts of the world through media volunteer work. Most importantly, tell stories and recreate settings with every picture you take, video you record, or article you write to share real-life experiences from real-people in foreign countries.

A Guide to Media Volunteer Work Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad in Media

Many grassroots and nonprofit organizations need media volunteers to help them relay their message and create awareness about social and economic issues around the world. If you are a passionate film maker or enjoy capturing a picture that leads to social awareness, then think about all the ways in which you would be able to captivate world audiences with your media work abroad!

As a media volunteer abroad, you can work on meaningful projects while also working on your journalism skills, only an arm's length away from the action. Your personal portfolio will grow with every project, and your unique skills and international experience will be sure to impress future employers in the media field following your time abroad.

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.
