A Guide to Volunteering in Trinidad & Tobago

Locations

Trinidad & Tobago is a relatively small country, with a population of just over 1.2 million citizens. Trinidad and Tobago were actually for a long time governed separately because they are two distinct geographical bodies (Trinidad is about a three hour’s boat ride away from Tobago). However in the late 19th century Trinidad & Tobago became consolidated under British rule, eventually gaining recognition as an independent nation in 1962.

Being the country’s capital city and one of the most important economic centers in the Caribbean region, Port of Spain is generally the most popular destination where to volunteer abroad in Trinidad & Tobago – not to mention the capital city. Fun fact: the metropolitan area shares borders with two other cities to form a conurbation of nearly 600,000 citizens (which is half of the country’s population).

Beyond Port of Spain, most other destinations where you can volunteer abroad in Trinidad & Tobago will be either in much smaller towns, cities, or rural areas. It is a very tiny country so wherever you end up, you will never be too far away from everywhere else. Both islands boast an international airport and comprehensive highway system, with ferries connecting between the major cities.

From the start to finish, I felt supported from all the staff. Safety was a priority in South Africa and they ensured that these were remembered whilst we went out and enjoyed ourselves! The school was absolutely amazing and I loved the class and teachers I worked with. After programme, we had so much time to go and explore the local area of muizenburg and even head into the city of Cape Town to explore. It was importantly to follow the house rules as they kept you safe however I never felt as though the rules were restrictive and were very thought out to ensure safety to all volunteers. I wish I did longer than the 3 weeks and can’t wait to go back, I would recommend this trip to anyone and believe the process is so easy to do

Volunteering with International Volunteer HQ alongside the incredible team at my placement in Kenya has been one of the most humbling and grounding experiences of my life. I arrived thinking I was coming to give time, energy, skills, support. What I didn’t expect was how much I would receive in return. Every day here has been a reminder of the power of dignity, resilience, and community. I have witnessed strength that doesn’t shout, hope that doesn’t give up, and kindness that shows up even when resources are limited. The people at the women's education placement lead with heart, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others not just for today, but for generations to come. This experience has slowed me down in the best possible way. It has invited me to listen more deeply, to be present, and to remember that real impact starts with human connection. The smiles, the conversations, the shared moments they stay with you. They change you. I am deeply grateful to IVHQ for creating a bridge that allows volunteers like me to step into meaningful, respectful, community-led work. And I am endlessly thankful to my placement in Kenya for welcoming me with open arms and trusting me to be part of their story, even for a short time. This is not a trip I will “return from” unchanged. It is an experience I will carry forward into my work, my relationships, and how I show up in the world. Thank you for reminding me that service is not about saving, it’s about standing beside, learning together, and honoring the shared humanity that connects us all.
