Volunteer Programs in Vietnam

Volunteering in Vietnam offers opportunities to explore life in one of 54 hill tribes, build relationships with young people, and give back to a country with a past filled of harsh warfare. Vietnam welcomes volunteers in a variety of capacities and industries. From education to healthcare, and youth development to environmental sustainability projects, there is a volunteer placement for everyone on this Indochinese Peninsula! As a volunteer in Vietnam, you can hike the lush jungles, visit the limestone islands, adventure into one of the ten national parks, or float along the Mekong Delta.

Volunteering in Vietnam

May 08, 2025by: Berta V - SpainProgram: Food Shop Support in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
9

A life experience! Food program was very fulfilling, I felt useful and loved shearing moment with locals. I didn’t “cook” or prepared food as I expected, but I enjoyed anyways. We served the trays and filled the containers for take away meals. After working, we ate lunch at the food shop with the workers of the restaurant, and food was delicious! The afternoons were free time, to visit the city, enjoy moments with your new friends or have a nap. Weekends are for discovering the county, going to another city or another county. I visited Mui Né and Hoi An and really liked it. I met lots of people, had fun and practiced my english! The local team is adorable! They are always there if any help is needed or to recommend us places to visit. The food is good and the accommodation as well. Describe better what we will to at the food shop, because I expected to help cooking and learn local dishes, but food was already prepared when we arrived at the food shop every morning. We served food.
