Renewable Energy Volunteer Programs
Harnessing power from the sun and making dry fields fertile sounds a bit like sorcery, but you don’t need to be a magician to volunteer on solar and hydro projects abroad. Whether you’re familiar with the science behind solar panels or have only hazy memories of high school science class, you’re in luck. There are hundreds of renewable energy volunteer opportunities available, and you don’t need any experience to participate. Becoming a renewable energy volunteer abroad will not only provide assistance to communities in need, but it will also teach you skills that can increase career opportunities at home.

A Guide to Volunteering in Renewable Energy Projects Abroad
Why Volunteer Abroad
Imagine bringing light to a home so a child can do homework after nightfall, helping dig an irrigation system so a farmer can grow crops, or distributing clean cookstoves and teaching locals how to improve the air quality in their homes. Much of the world still lacks essentials, like electricity and clean water, so renewable energy volunteer projects can literally change lives overnight. Renewable and sustainable energies are cost-efficient, planet-friendly, and they are becoming more popular, so now is the perfect time to lend a hand!
Going abroad to become a renewable energy volunteer is an invaluable way to dive deep into another culture. In order for a solar project to be effective, it’s necessary to understand the problems the community is dealing with and how your project will help alleviate these issues. Many renewable energy organizations are deeply knowledgeable about the local culture and can teach you about living in a particular place while you contribute to their renewable energy projects. Not only will you bring fresh insight and a pair of hands ready for hard work, but you’ll also come away with a better understanding of another way of life.
Volunteers interested in pursuing a career in renewable energy will be able to learn new skills as well as enhance their resumes. Many employers look for individuals with hands-on experience and the ability to think outside the box; both are qualities that you’ll obtain as a renewable energy volunteer abroad.
