Volunteering - N to T

The volunteering section for courses and projects is vast and below we list more organisations that offer courses where they are looking for volunteers while you are on your Backpacking trip and those taking a Gap Year. They offer a range of courses and we have categorised these as all these courses are on a voluntary basis where you can help with local communities and projects abroad.

While you are deciding which courses are of interest don't forget to consider our Backpacker Travel Insurance. A great choice for anyone looking to travel for long periods and take part in work placements or volunteer programmes.
