Life-changing
March 12, 2025by: April MathewsonProgram: Italy - Liveaboard Dolphin Research ExpeditionVolunteering in Ischia, Italy, on dolphin and cetacean conservation was nothing short of life-changing. From tying knots and learning to echolocate sea animals to sipping espresso, indulging in homemade Italian meals under the sun, and soaking in natural thermal springs, every moment was unforgettable. The friendships I made, morning yoga, Angelo’s cooking, and the beauty of Italian life and embracing my roots will forever have a place in my heart. I’ll miss it all— except the mosquitoes. Until next time, Ischia!
Teaching proper healthcare and hygiene was a very fulfilling experience.
March 12, 2025by: Shayden HiebertProgram: Sri Lanka - Medical and Nursing ProgramTeaching proper healthcare and hygiene techniques and interacting with the school children in the community was so much fun and a very fulfilling experience. Also, getting the chance to observe how healthcare is practiced in another country was incredible, and being able to witness live surgery up close was absolutely amazing. Lastly, getting a chance to meet open and spontaneous people from all over the world was truly incredible and I made many friends with whom I will keep in touch with now that I'm back home again!
J’ai trouvé l’endroit très propre et les animaux sont vraiment respectés et bien traités.
March 06, 2025by: Linda GirouxProgram: Costa Rica – Sloth and Wildlife Rescue CenterSuperbe expérience au Slot Rescue Center au Costa Rica. J’étais dans l’équipe des vétérinaires en autre , et j’ai participé à soigner, nourrir, nettoyer, des paresseux, des perroquets, ratons laveurs, petit singe hurleur… et autres. Nous sommes hébergés en général dans des chambres de 4 avec des lits superposés. Il y a des règles à observer puisque nous débutons en général assez tôt le matin quoique tout le monde n’a pas le même horaire. Nous avons 3 repas par jour à des heures précises . Il ne faut pas s’attendre à manger comme dans un hôtel tout inclus, mais nous mangeons bien , à notre faim et diversifier. Si vous voulez manger différemment, il y a à quelques minutes de marche une épicerie à grande surface. Tout le monde est très gentil, l’entraide et le respect sont très important. Apporter de bonnes chaussures de marche ou bottines, et vous serez très à l’aise comme ça. Le centre offre aussi des excursions payantes une fois dans la semaine. Pour les périodes de repos, il y’a une grande piscine très propre. Les chambres sont nettoyées et la literie est lavé une fois semaine. J’ai trouvé l’endroit très propre et les animaux sont vraiment respectés et bien traités . Il ne faut pas oublier, que pour plusieurs, ils seront remis en liberté après leur séjour au centre. Je vous le recommande, il n’y a pas que des jeunes personnes, on y retrouve des familles avec jeunes enfants, des jeunes adultes et des plus âgés aussi. J’ai bien aimé le respect des gens pour l’horaire de travail, tout le monde est à l’heure et c’est du bénévolat. Bon séjour là bas !

I was inspired to volunteer because I believe human beings are born to travel, experience all kind of things, embrace challenges, and of course enjoy the moments. On a more personal level, volunteering abroad could help me grow as a person and fulfill my wish to experience a different culture and broaden my own horizon. I also believe this is something you need to do at least once in a lifetime if you are given the chance; it will be inspiring, manifesting, and even life-changing.

I traveled and volunteered back in the 70's and 80's before becoming "trapped" in the corporate world. I wanted to go back out by myself, but the world had changed and I wanted to take my first foray back out with a recognized organization that could provide the sort of information and advice that I needed.
