Flexible Dates Summer Volunteer Projects and Internships
The following are our summer start dates. All Volunteers and Interns are required to arrive on the Friday prior to their project start date to partake in our two day orientation, which covers Thai language, cultural sensitivity, and sessions on health and safety, including a city tour and cultural activity. - May 7, 2018 - May 21, 2018 - June 4, 2018 - June 18, 2018 - July 2, 2018 - July 16, 2018 - August 6, 2018 - August 20, 2018Volunteer and Tour Experiences in Thailand
Exotic cuisine, foreign languages, ancient temples and unusual customs – there's so much to experience in Asia. *Friends for Asia* volunteers stay busy with their summer project work, but we make sure that they enjoy the full visitor experience while they're in-country. We've packed the summer project experience with extra activities and cultural encounters. Depending on the assignment, the schedule could include visiting a traditional healer, braving class-3 river rapids, bathing elephants, trekking through the jungle or having dinner with a local prince. See the specific summer volunteer project pages for details. One of the great joys of volunteering abroad is the fact that everyone benefits. Volunteers give back to the communities they visit, and in the process they learn a great deal about the local customs and culture. Even better, locals often look at our volunteers differently than they would run-of-the-mill tourists. They understand that – while many visiting foreigners spend their time lounging on beaches, riding on tour buses and gathering at Western-style hangouts – volunteers invest their time and energy in projects that help everyday people.
Individual Volunteer Projects - Summer
For some volunteers, these dates might not work, or they may prefer more flexible schedule or to focus on specific volunteer projects. No worries. Our standard individual volunteer projects are flexible with start dates twice per month throughout the summer. Standard volunteer projects are available in Bali, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam. Individual projects and internships are two-week minimum, and can be extended for any number of weeks. Many volunteers and interns choose to mix and match and try two or more options while abroad. Full orientation, support, and accommodation is available for these projects, but we leave most of the tourism/travel events up to the individual. There are always other volunteers on the projects to make getting a group together for excursions easy to do.Other Individual Volunteer Projects and Internships
