Volunteer Programs in Poland

Poland sits in northeastern Europe and is a highly developed, stable country in terms of its economy and government. Located at the confluence of the Slav, Germanic, Latinate, and Byzantine worlds, Poland has a culture unlike any other in Europe. In fact, Poles should be known for so much more than their fancy sausage and piano concertos. So, why should you volunteer in Poland? Even though Poland has improved leaps and bounds in the last century, there’s still much work to be done. Read on to find out why (and how) Poland needs you!

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Poland

Locations

Poland has several different locations that are great for volunteers to call home during their trip from Warsaw to Gdansk. Each place has different strengths and rich histories, so it’s almost impossible to pick the wrong place for volunteering in Poland!

Krakow. Supposedly founded on the remains of a defeated dragon, Krakow exudes a medieval, charming, and sometimes mythical aura. Once the seat of power and administration in Poland, Krakow is now home to a plethora of amazing churches, rich museums, and the incredible Rynek Główny. In the famous former Jewish district of Kazimierz, volunteers can reflect on its turbulent history just as much as they can reflect on the modernity of its bustling squares and alleys. If you’re looking to teach English in a big city steeped in history and beautiful architecture, volunteer placements in Krakow were made for you. 

Warsaw. The capital of Poland is currently undergoing a booming construction period that has seemingly been in effect since 1989. However, beyond the city’s striving to gain what was lost during WWII, most volunteers coming to Warsaw perceive that this city has something special to offer. As opposed to most European cities that are centered around a square, Warsaw is an incredible mix of communist construction, modern architecture, and beautiful restored Gothic buildings. To go along with this, Warsaw boasts the best eating and entertainment in the country. In the end, volunteering in Warsaw is perfect for those looking to be energized or those that are happy on the go.

Gdansk. This Polish port city has a rich history with many different influences that have transformed it into a unique mini-province that has its own distinct feel. Years and years of ocean commerce has made Gdansk architecture as almost charmingly unorthodox-Polish as it can get. While there are still some scars leftover from its turbulent 20th century, Gdansk is a city that is full of energy and just waiting to be explored.
