A Guide to Becoming a Nursing Volunteer Abroad for 1-2 Weeks

Why Become a Nursing Volunteer Abroad for 1-2 Weeks?

You’ll find nursing volunteer abroad programs for 1-2 weeks in locations all over the world. Common destinations for these kinds of programs are scattered throughout much of Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, but those are not the only regions where volunteer nurses are needed. Choosing a destination where you speak the language will go a long way, and improve the experience for both yourself and the patients you meet.

What better way to see the world than by doing the work you love and helping some of the people you meet along the way? Volunteer in nursing abroad for 1-2 weeks to assist medical professionals in delivering basic healthcare treatments and services, and to collaborate on public health projects and community health education.

If you have even more than 1-2 weeks to spare, keep reading about volunteering abroad in nursing.

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.
