Bali Volunteer Programs from $26/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

Best thing I’ve done as an 18 year old solo traveler for the first time I felt so safe and made the best of friends. The turtles are adorable and well looked after. The coordinators are great fun very friendly and always in a great cheerful mood ! I would definitely recommend to anyone. On my days off I went to see the manta rays and kelling king beach which are my top 2 recommendations! I also did a weekend in Canggu which was great me and my friends went to the markets and Finns beach club which was great fun!

I completed 2 weeks of construction and renovation volunteering in Bali. IVHQ were super easy to book with and incredibly helpful with any complications or queries that I had. Obtaining the visa for Bali was quite complicated but they were quick to respond to my questions and very helpful. Their online program guide is also great, it gives you all the information you could need before arriving and if you have any other questions, like previously mentioned, you can just contact them! The local team were also amazing! They were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. They assist in any issues we had and made my experience 100x better. I definitely want to return in the future. I couldn’t recommend it enough!!

I recently had the privilege of volunteering with an incredible local team, and it truly became one of the best experiences of my life. Their unwavering care and dedication ensured that all volunteers, including myself, felt comfortable and valued throughout the entire journey.

From the start, the team consistently checked in on us, making sure we had everything we needed. Their support not only alleviated any concerns but also fostered a strong sense of community. The team went above and beyond, often spending extra time getting to know us personally, which made a massive difference in our experience.

This opportunity not only allowed me to contribute meaningfully but also provided immense personal growth. I gained confidence in my abilities and learned valuable skills that I will carry forward. The supportive environment encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, and I left feeling empowered and inspired.

I can't wait to embark on my next volunteer journey, armed with the knowledge and confidence I gained from this experience. I am incredibly grateful for the local team that made it all possible and highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to make a difference while also growing personally.

I did a 3-week turtle program which is something I really wanted to do since a young age. My experience was eye-opening. The local team included us in the daily life of the locals which helped us to understand the culture better. They were all so nice with trying to make us feel at home. I got to see a lot more than just the project.

I learned more about the turtles while learning about myself and other participants. IVHQ was helpful while preparing me for the trip with good information. They were also checking on me while the program was running. The website is easy to use and the variety of programs is amazing.

I had an incredible experience teaching English to locals who speak absolutely no English in Bali. Their enthusiasm, eagerness to learn and to show up even just for an optional lecture, along with their immense love was beyond any of my expectations. I learned so much about myself and another culture, and was able to get a clearer vision of what I wanted to do once I went back home. I felt brave, confident and gained a lot more from the kids than I perhaps contributed. I would 100% go back and do this experience again and would recommend it to all, regardless of age.

I completed my volunteering experience with IVHQ in Bali, Indonesia, during the months of August and September for a total duration of four weeks, with the first two weeks in Ubud and the last two on the island of Nusa Penida.
In Ubud, I participated in the Teaching English project, where another volunteer and I taught English lessons to local children, aged between 10 and 11 years old. Normally, the other volunteer and I would organize the lessons in the morning, planning games that included English terms and vocabulary, printing worksheets, and creating activities to make the lessons as interactive as possible. In the afternoons, we would go to the school to conduct the lessons, which lasted about two hours, in a class of around fifteen children. The students' knowledge of the English language was quite limited but sufficient to conduct the lessons in a collaborative and participative environment. Whenever we had difficulty making ourselves understood by the children, we would try to communicate through gestures, pictures, or ask for help from the project coordinators, who were always very helpful. During the weekends, there was free time to spend with the other volunteers visiting various attractions in Ubud, such as waterfalls, temples, and rice fields. We also visited nearby places like Canggu and Lovina.
On the island of Nusa Penida, I participated in the Sea Turtle Conservation project. Here, the Local Team works in two different centers, one of which is still partially under construction. In this case, volunteering took place for two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon. The activities involved cleaning the tanks where the turtles swam, cutting fish to feed them, and then feeding them, cleaning their shells with a brush, and finally putting them back into the freshly cleaned tank. Again, both the volunteers and coordinators were very kind and collaborative in carrying out and organizing the activities. During the weekends, there was an opportunity to visit the magnificent beaches of the island and go snorkeling among fish, manta rays, and sea turtles.
The experience was extremely positive, both for my personal growth and for the tangible impact on the local community’s development and the protection of sea turtles. I always found great kindness and helpfulness from the local people, coordinators, and children. It was particularly enriching to meet volunteers from all over the world, with cultures different from mine, and immerse myself in Indonesian traditions, discovering a new and fascinating culture.

My experience was amazing, thanks to the people I had the opportunity to meet—both the wonderful Green Lion family and the other volunteers. Each person I connected with taught me something valuable, and even the children I taught English to ended up teaching me more than I could have ever taught them.

The organization did a great job of engaging everyone with kindness and inclusivity, making sure we lacked nothing and helping us integrate into the local community.

If there's one thing I would have liked more, it would have been to spend even more time teaching, so I could have made an even greater impact on the children!

Volunteering in Bali with IVHQ has been one of the most incredible experiences I've had the chance to take part to hands down! Not only does IVHQ offer an amazing pre-trip support, but also the local team is made up of amazing people who are constantly ready to help everyone out as much as they can!
Having the chance to dedicate my time and help to the kids during my volunteer program has been heartwarming and taught me that sometimes even the smallest things can make a huge impact. Getting to see the kid's progress every single day was rewarding and motivating.
Moreover, I feel like volunteering gave me a chance to completely immerge myself into the country's culture and learn so many new aspects of Balinese traditions. Last but not least, I got to know so many great people from all around the world with whom I made forever lasting memories. All of that is why I would definitely recommend this experience, and I personally can't wait for my next one!
