A Guide to Summer Teaching Volunteer Programs Abroad
Best Locations
Whether you are dreaming of Mediterranean summer nights, the idyllic beaches and palm trees of Southeast Asia, or the mountains, urban landscapes, and expansive lands somewhere in between, there are no limits to where you can volunteer in teaching abroad for summer.
Thailand. Remember those smiles from earlier? You will most definitely encounter them here in the Land of Smiles. Thailand’s people are some of the most welcoming the world has to offer. Choose the jungles of the north, the bustling capital of Bangkok, or the exotic islands of the south when you volunteer in teaching abroad for the summer!
China. Lăoshī, lăoshī! (Teacher, teacher!) These are words you are sure to hear during your summer volunteer teaching in China. There is no shortage of volunteer teaching English positions available in the world’s most populous country. Teach kiddos or adults and enjoy the varied and delicious Chinese cuisine while exploring the country’s diverse provinces.
Spain. Bring on the sunshine! Become a teaching volunteer abroad for summer in Spain while soaking up the sun all along the picturesque Mediterranean sea! Enjoy endless tapas (and wine!), a chance to practice your español, and a refreshing siesta each day.
Popular Projects
Volunteer teaching may immediately conjure images of colorful classrooms and energetic children. However, volunteer teaching for the summer could also mean facilitating educational activities at a summer camp, working with adults to improve their English, or teaming up with local teachers to learn from one another.
Tutoring. Anywhere you go in the world, there is a need for specialized one-on-one teaching. Become a teaching volunteer abroad for summer and help children or adults in their efforts to learn as a tutor in your new city abroad.
Co-Teaching. Two minds are better than one! Join forces with a local teacher; learn from one another’s strengths and improve the delivery of instruction and curriculum in local schools. Many times co-teacher opportunities are specifically for English-teaching, in order to help teachers in your host country improve their English language-teaching abilities.
Supporting Your Community Abroad. Teaching abroad isn’t limited to the mainstream curriculum of math, science, history and languages. Do you have a background in healthcare? Do you have a passion for working with people with special needs? Check out meaningful opportunities to teach health education abroad or work with special needs students.
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
Are you convinced yet? The benefits of going abroad to find teaching volunteer abroad programs for summer are just about endless! Professionally, adding a volunteer abroad experience to a resume instantly groups you with a small percentage of the population; you are guaranteed to stand out. You’ll not only have an amazing and one-of-a-kind experience to share, you’ll also have gained hands-on teaching experience and increased intercultural awareness. You may also have improved language skills, tutoring and mentoring experience, and lesson planning abilities!
The great thing about volunteer teaching abroad over the summer is the timing! It’s not too short and not too long—it’s just about right. You should still definitely take full advantage of your time in your new country, though. Make connections (while teaching and traveling), practice a new language, push yourself out of your comfort zone, and see the sights and landmarks! No matter where you are volunteer teaching, consider taking on a specialized project while at that school or organization to further your growth, commitment, and fun when you volunteer in teaching abroad for summer. You won’t regret it!

I’m so grateful I got to meet my program group, it was truly an amazing experience!
Empowering a Media Team to Tell Stories That Matter
July 28, 2026by: RISVINA OCHOLA - KenyaVolunteering with Anointed Vessels Christian School was a truly rewarding experience. As a journalist, I had the opportunity to mentor and train the school's media team on effective storytelling, photography, videography, interviewing, and content creation. It was encouraging to see their passion for sharing the inspiring stories of the children and the impact the school is making in the community. Beyond the media training, I was touched by the dedication of the staff and the joy of the students. The school provides quality education, care, and hope to orphaned and vulnerable children on Mfangano Island. I appreciated being able to contribute my professional skills to strengthen their communication efforts so that more people around the world can learn about their mission. I highly recommend Anointed Vessels Christian School to anyone looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity where their skills can make a lasting difference. The experience was inspiring, welcoming, and deeply fulfilling
A Life-Changing Volunteer Exchange in Kenya
July 28, 2026by: Thiga Rogers - KenyaVolunteering at Anointed Vessels Christian School was one of the most meaningful experiences have had. During my visit, our team had the privilege of washing the students' feet, mentoring them, donating school shoes, and sharing meal together. These moments allowed us to connect with the children on a personal level and demonstrate Christ's love through practical service. I was inspired by the dedication of the school' leadership who work tirelessly to provide quality education, nutritious meals, and hope to orphaned children on Mfangano Island. The children were joyful, respectful, eager to learn despite many challenges they face. This experience reminded me that even simple acts of kindness can have a lasting impact. I highly recommend Anointed Vessels Christian Schoolto anyone looking for a genuine volunteer opportunity where they can make a real difference while learning about the local community and culture.

A Character Building Experience
July 27, 2026by: Hannah Williams - United KingdomProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
I had a great time! Living situation was comfortable, the other volunteers I met were all amazing, and the park rangers and dorm we were at were all welcoming, a bit quiet - but friendly and kind. I think from my time here, and having spoken to a few different volunteers about their experience and perspective, my only issue would be that I think Maximo Nivel doesn’t always paint an accurate picture of their programs. Despite this, I still think it’s worth coming here if anyone is thinking about it, but that it’s really important to do your research on the program you want to do. As for example, me and another volunteer were confused as to why over email they’d been led to believe our program was on the Caribbean coast, when it in fact ended up being on the Pacific Ocean Coast. And also that online our sea turtle programs talk about various activities like helping hatchlings etc but doesn’t inform you if the season you are going on is nesting season or not etc. Host family were lovely, and transportation was fairly clear. The online and in person admin team at Maximo were especially helpful, and Kaylie was especially wonderful! Overall, would definitely recommend - just think it’s important to ensure the program detailings are clear to you before you arrive. Thanks! Miss Costa Rica already!!
Trip I Will Never Forget

Everything was super great. My host family was excellent, Monica was genuinely the sweetest lady ever. I did the Jungle conservation program at pantera sanctuary and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Everything from the food to the people to the work was excellent. Maximo was very helpful with any and all questions or concerns me or my friends had. 100% would recommend.
Incredible Experience!!!

A trip of a lifetime
July 25, 2026by: Krystal Starr -Perry - United StatesProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
I absolutely loved my time here! The locals are so nice and Antigua is beautiful. My only complaint is that I wish I had more time here to explore, but I tried to make the best of what time I did have. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend it!
Enjoyed it a lot.
July 24, 2026by: Charlie Arculus - Isle of ManProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
I was welcomed as soon as I arrived in Maximo. I made new friends each week both inside the programme and with locals down the road that I played football and basketball with most days. The programme was both fun and beneficial for my Spanish. Couldn’t recommend it more.
magical and striking
July 24, 2026by: Melanie Claros - United StatesProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
Where to begin? They say we change every day—that we are constantly evolving—and that sums up my first volunteer experience, which certainly won't be my last. I arrived in this country feeling a bit lost, but I’m returning as a completely different person. I came hoping to help, yet I think what I’m taking away with me is far more valuable. I’ve met incredible people who have stolen my heart; I haven’t just made friends—I’ve found family. I felt welcome from day one, and I’m so excited about the future. I’m ready for Guatemala in 2027 with Maximo—we make a great team. This definitely isn't a goodbye, just a "see you soon."

I had the time of my life!

Coming to Barcelona with Connect 123 was one of the best decisions I've made. They were incredibly helpful in helping find me an internship I felt comfortable and confident in and always very communicative. The housing they provided was amazing, and in a great location. Barcelona is now one of my favorite cities
Unforgettable
July 22, 2026by: Isa Bermúdez - Costa RicaProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
An experience that allowed me to meet incredible people, greatly improve my English, and let go of the fear of new opportunities—embracing them with the utmost positivity. It was also a time to be away from home while finding people who made it feel like home, and a chance for new moments of discovery, trying new things, and taking on new challenges.
My Experience in Ireland

As my time in Ireland comes to a close, I want to thank Connect-123 for partnering with Bucknell University to provide students like me with an opportunity like this. As an undergraduate, it can often feel stressful trying to gain relevant work experience while preparing for your future career. Thanks to Connect-123, I was placed with a company in a field aligned with my career goals, allowing me to grow professionally while exploring a new part of the world. This experience has given me valuable workplace experience, unforgettable memories, and a greater appreciation for living and working abroad. Thank you for making it possible!

So incredible
July 20, 2026by: Valorie Radel - United StatesProgram: Global Internship & Volunteer Programs with Connect-123!
This experience has been nothing short of incredible. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity. My internship could not have been a more perfect match. I have gained not only new skills but also a new perspective as well. Outside of the internship, exploring this beautiful city has been so fun. Carla, the program coordinator, is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. She planned the most fun activities for our group and was truly invested in our well-being!

Living in Ireland

Following this program was a unique experience that I will never forget. I thought it gave a great balance of working at my internship, meeting new people, and exploring the new country. The opportunities each weekend gave great insights and experiences to explore outside of where we were staying and i highly recommend going to each one.
