Are you a steadfast do-gooder, a good soul who is only satisfied when you can make others happy? When you see sick children, your heart breaks and when you watch the environment suffer because of human existence, do you feel powerless? Take the initiative and become one of many volunteers who support other people and nature! You can find out how you can do this via the willigenarbeit.de portal, which provides you with a comprehensive overview of potential target countries, areas of activity, current volunteer projects and volunteer work specials.
What are the benefits of working as a volunteer?
So that you know what volunteering brings to you personally other than just a good feeling, we have put together a few points for you that speak for a voluntary project:
- Learn new skills that you have always wanted to acquire and that will benefit you later in life
- Gain work experience that will enhance your resume and advance your career
- Get to know new people and cultures and forge friendships that transcend national borders
- Improve your empathy by working on your interactions with other people and trying to put yourself in their shoes
- Break out of your everyday life, have fun and try to reduce stress sustainably
For which areas can you volunteer?
Volunteerwork.de offers you the opportunity to search for projects from seven different areas of activity:
- Teaching and caring for children: If you like working with children, you could, for example, teach street children in Nepal, look after children in Ghana or help out in an Ecuadorian daycare center.
- Educational and teaching projects: Become a teacher in Zanzibar, give English lessons in a Nepalese monastery school or get involved in a human rights project in Cambodia.
- Health and care: If you are interested in caring for those in need, you can, for example, look after disabled people in Chile or take part in various health projects in Uruguay.
- Animal protection: If you have a big heart for animals, then perhaps a stint in the national park in Sri Lanka or the project in the Tsavo National Park in Kenya is right for you.
- Nature and environmental protection: Take care of reforestation, research and ecotourism in Costa Rica or advocate for environmental protection in the beautiful Bahamas, because only through people like you who actively get involved can change come about.
- Construction and infrastructure: Building project on the Fiji Islands – if that doesn’t sound good! However, you can also do good in Nepal and provide earthquake relief.
- Tourism development: Get involved in ecotourism in Argentina or support various tourism operators in their work in Nepal.
