Volunteer Basecamp

We have been connecting international volunteers with organizations overseas in need of assistance since 1998. We are one of the world's longest running, most flexible and most affordable short-term volunteer programs.

There is an enormous range of volunteer abroad placements through which you can assist organizations. To make it easier to review volunteer placements that match your interests, we have divided our placements into the following five main categories:

Community Development Volunteering

Community development volunteers can help organizations from a wide range of fields. Volunteers can help with fundraising, on-line marketing, office administration, construction and facility maintenance.

Educational Volunteering

Educational volunteers can help in a range of placements from a school setting with a formal classroom environment, to tutoring in an orphanage or providing vocational training for people in need.

Wildlife and Environmental Volunteering

Wildlife and environmental volunteers are able to have a meaningful impact while working on projects directly with the flora and fauna of some of the world's most precious habitats.

Health Care Volunteering

Health care volunteer positions with Volunteer BaseCamp cover a wide range of placements from dentistry and medicine to nursing and public health outreach programs.

Social Services Volunteering

Social services volunteering offers a range of placement types including childcare volunteering, special needs volunteering, youth work, counselling and emergency service training.
