A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Tibet
Projects & Placements
Most voluntary work in Tibet will be in the field of education or community building. It is common for volunteers to work at local schools in Tibet teaching English or other subjects to young children (often with the assistance of a translator). Since Tibet is largely a poor agricultural region, education and literacy rates are fairly low, so foreign teachers are always appreciated.
Other opportunities to volunteer in Tibet may include working at an orphanage or assisting with various community development projects. Many volunteer programs in Tibet will combine volunteerism with a variety of outdoor adventure activities in the Himalayas, such as trekking and kayaking. This can be a good way to explore the beautiful and exciting parts of the region while also working to make a positive impact on needy local communities.
Volunteer placements in Tibet are more commonly offered in the summer months because winter can become bitingly cold and harsh in Tibet. Programs typically last anywhere from two weeks to three months, and it is generally up to each volunteer to decide how long they wish to stay. Thankfully, foreigners are not expected to know how to speak any of the Tibetan dialects in order to volunteer in abroad Tibet, so English will generally suffice.
