International Volunteer HQ - IVHQ

I had a great experience volunteering in Ho Chi Minh City through IVHQ. The whole process, from applying to arriving in Vietnam, was really well organised and the support from the IVHQ team made travelling overseas for the first time much less stressful.

The volunteering itself was incredibly rewarding. It was great being able to help people in the local community while also meeting volunteers from all over the world. I made some great friends and created memories I'll never forget.

If I ever had any questions before I left, the IVHQ team was quick to respond and made everything easy. I'd definitely recommend IVHQ to anyone thinking about volunteering overseas. It was an amazing experience and one I'm really glad I did.

Everything was spectacular—a unique and unforgettable experience.
From signing up for the program at home months in advance to the farewell at Kilimanjaro Airport, the local coordinating team in Tanzania had absolutely everything organized down to the last detail. I felt safe and well-supported the entire time.
My homestay experience was a perfect 10! The food was fantastic and hearty.
The tours and guides were excellent; I have nothing but gratitude for all of them.
I will undoubtedly do another program with IVHQ.

My Jamaica experience was great because it allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone, connect with new people, and make meaningful memories while serving others. I loved being able to learn about the culture, build relationships with the local community, and see the impact that small acts of kindness can have. The experience challenged me to grow in my faith, gratitude, and appreciation for the opportunities I have. It was rewarding to work alongside others who shared the same passion for helping people and creating a positive difference.

IVHQ does a great job of creating opportunities for volunteers to make a meaningful impact while also providing support and guidance throughout the experience. They help connect volunteers with local communities, organize programs, and make it possible for people to serve in a way that is safe and structured. I appreciated how they allowed us to experience the culture of Jamaica while still focusing on helping the community. Their organization made the trip feel purposeful and helped create an environment where volunteers could learn, serve, and grow.

My experience with IVHQ absolutely exceeded my expectations and was so amazing, the staff were so friendly and really created a positive and welcoming environment, I felt safe and included by all the other volunteers. the program was well scheduled allowing enough time to self each day for exploration and down time, food provided was delicious and activities run by staff were interactive and enjoyable! made so many amazing international friends, my only regret is not staying longer! I will definitely be back in the future!

I could never fully describe this experience with words, but I truly believe everyone should live something like this at least once in their life. For me, it was life-changing, especially as I will be a nurse next year. It opened my eyes on so many levels and taught me lessons that I will carry forever. Meeting new people, helping others, and seeing different realities made me more grateful for everything I have. I know I will become a better person and a more compassionate nurse because of this experience.
