Volunteer OverseasCare High School Projects
Volunteers on Projects Abroad’s Care High School projects work to benefit disadvantaged children and communities abroad. These projects are specifically for volunteers aged 15 to 18 and run on fixed dates. On these projects, you can make a positive impact by working with children in care centres or kindergartens.
As part of a structured programme, you can help out with a variety of tasks, such as educational games, arts and crafts, and sports. These activities are all designed to help accelerate early childhood development. If you have skills in arts and crafts, music, drama or sports, local staff will welcome your ideas for activities with the children.
There are many different types of Care High School Projects, allowing you to focus solely on working with children or to combine this with renovation work, conservation, or even learning a new language.
