GO ABROAD WITH WEP:
volunteer to transform the world!

Help change the world for the better by doing a Volunteer Program abroad with WEP!

Our Volunteer Programs will take your off the beaten track and provide you with the opportunity to meet and interact with the native people, to learn about their lifestyle and culture from the inside and to fully integrate into their society and environment.

Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get your hands dirty; a Volunteer Program abroad is one of the finest ways to learn about and explore the richness and diversity of a culture firsthand.

You will find a list of our volunteer programs below. Choose the one that best meets your needs and has the potential to fulfil your dreams!
