Street Children Volunteer Programs Abroad

Volunteering abroad with street children can be a great way to give back to a community, share your teaching skills, serve as a role model, and have a lot of fun! There are millions of street children in need of attention all over the world, but working with street kids does not necessarily mean volunteering with children who are homeless or orphaned. Due to a lack of proper medical care, limited or no access to education, and forced or necessary child labor, volunteering with street children abroad may entail working with parents, providing general child care, teaching, or encouraging socialization.

Tuve una muy buena experiencia en donde viví el día a día con toda una tranquilidad ya que máximo me lo hizo posible. Me encanto lo que me permitieron vivir y poder jugar con los niños como si yo fuera uno. Me encantaría poder volver.

A Guide to Volunteering with Street Children Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad

*Important: Here’s a list of 23 questions to ask before volunteering with children abroad.

If you love kids, want to help the less fortunate, and have a great deal of creativity, patience, and energy to give, volunteering with street children abroad could be a great fit for you! While street children populations (and the programs that help them) will be entirely different depending on the country you volunteer abroad in, all volunteer work will involve elements of education, support, and a lot of role modeling. Affection and positive reinforcement are both keys to volunteering with street children abroad. 

Recreation, affection, and time can have an immense impact on these children who have been deprived of many of their rights. A child can also provide you with a lot of insight into a new culture, so put your creativity and caring nature to service by volunteering with street children abroad!
