Volunteer Programmes - USIT Work Abroad

A USIT Volunteer Placement isn't your typical backpacking adventure or city break. Whether you're teaching English in Thailand, building a spider monkey habitat at an Eco-tourism camp in Costa Rica or helping out at an AIDS project in South Africa, a Volunteer Programme will bring you to the heart of the matter.

This is exploration from the inside. You'll be more than a tourist - you'll be a member of the community, living and working alongside local people on projects that will improve their lives. It's a chance to get as much as you give and to participate instead of simply observing. Whether you choose to volunteer for two weeks or two years, you're sure to come away with a new perspective on yourself and the world.

And, on top of all that, it's a chance to have fun. You'll meet locals and likeminded volunteers, make friends you'll never forget, have adventures you've never imagined, and return home with a travel story like no other.

So choose one of USIT's exciting destinations and start running on the inside track.
