Volunteering Abroad

Volunteering Abroad

Royal Holloway Volunteering has a growing network of Volunteering Abroad organisations, giving students the opportunity to support excellent, ethical causes across the globe.

Volunteering abroad can be a fantastic way of developing your skills and passions in a whole new environment, and Royal Holloway Volunteering only works with UK based organisations that behave in accordance with this ethos.

Royal Holloway Volunteering wants to ensure that volunteers are operating in a safe environment, and that the work done will be beneficial for volunteers and the communities they are working in. We do not engage in voluntourism or other practices that exploit volunteers or international communities.
