Find a volunteer or internship placements in Asia

Written by Wild Asia on 6 Feb 2010 with 1 comment. Contribute!

Volunteer programmes give you a chance to meet new people, expand networks and provide you with new and exciting experiences. Volunteer experiences are not just for the young, skilled volunteer placements are also available. Search our database for current and existing postings or vacancies for environmental, social or wildlife organizations that are of interest and find the one that suits you best.

Donations and funds are conventional ways of supporting a cause, but one might want to go beyond financial contributions and actually get their hands dirty. It feels more rewarding when we are contributing actively; knowing that the blood, sweat and tears we have shed carry more meaning when mending our planet. The experiences we share, the people we meet, the fulfillment of our responsibilities, all contribute to a better understanding and a sense of connection to our surroundings and communities that will, we hope, guide you into becoming a more informed and responsible human being.

Where can I find placement opportunities

Responsible volunteering

One of the projects we will be working on will be to make sense of the volunteer tourism market today. We have seen an alarming rise in volunteer opportunities - some good, and some not so good. While we see volunteer holidays as a great way to do good in the world, it really does depend who you go with.
