Volunteer Service Overseas is a government-funded project run by the UK government and only open to UK citizens, but they do have branches in a few other countries such as India, China, and Ireland, although each branch is funded separately and is essentially its own organization.
Service for the regular VSO, which requires you to be 25-75 years old, lasts two years, but all of the expenses are paid for, including travel to and from the country, and you’re even paid a small stipend. Don’t expect to be rolling in cash, but you’ll have enough to get by.
As a VSO volunteer, you’ll live and work alongside local professionals, helping improve the quality of life for people who need it most. What’s more, you’ll experience a different culture in a way few people ever can. You’ll change lives – including your own.
