Childcare Volunteer Programs Abroad
When volunteering abroad with children you can expect to be welcomed with open arms, literally. Children are fascinated by foreigners in almost every country, so most children will be eager to learn about your culture and language and spend time getting to know you. Through this playful exchange of cultural customs, you will get to know the children and the local culture on a much deeper level. Childcare volunteering abroad can be some of the most fulfilling volunteer work available, since volunteers will see the noticeable difference they are making in the lives of children daily and leave knowing they have made an impact.

A Guide to Childcare Volunteering Abroad
Best Locations
Costa Rica is a very popular and pleasant country for volunteering abroad with children. Most child care volunteering in Costa Rica is based in and around the capital city of San Jose, which has everything a modern city usually has to offer, plus volcanic mountains on the horizon and a unique culture. The locals, or Ticos, live by the mentality of pura vida, and nothing is more pure than caring for children.
Ghana is another country that is very popular for childcare volunteering abroad. While the country of Ghana has slowly been moving toward a better economy, there are still many children that have been neglected and abandoned, who now reside in orphanages. These children are in great need of strong role models who can recognize their talents and motivate them to achieve their dreams.
India has the largest child population in the world, and over half of that population is malnourished and uneducated. With these numbers steadily growing, there has never been a better time to volunteer with children in India. Due to the high demand for volunteers across program types, India has become one of the most affordable places to volunteer abroad.
