Why Volunteer Abroad as a Teen?

Volunteering abroad as a teen offers numerous benefits that can shape your personal growth and future success:

3. Gain valuable skills: From language learning to problem-solving, volunteering abroad provides opportunities to develop skills that are highly valued in both academic and professional settings.
4. Explore potential career paths: Volunteering can help you discover your passions and interests, potentially guiding you towards future career paths in fields like international development, education, or social work.
5. Create lasting memories: The bonds you form with local communities and fellow volunteers will create memories that stay with you long after your program ends. Many volunteers return home with a new perspective on life and a desire to continue making a difference.

Meet Emma: A Teen Volunteer’s Story

Emma, a 17-year-old, recently participated in our Teach English program in Cambodia. Here’s what she had to say about her experience:

“Volunteering in Cambodia was the most incredible and eye-opening experience of my life. I had the opportunity to work with the most amazing children, who taught me just as much as I taught them. Seeing the joy on their faces when they learned a new word or concept was truly priceless. The program also allowed me to immerse myself in Cambodian culture, making lifelong friends and memories along the way. I would encourage any teen looking to make a difference to consider volunteering abroad. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.”
