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

Volunteering with IVHQ is truly a mesmerising and unforgettable experience! From the first day until the last day of the trip, I felt part of one, big family. This experience was not only life-changing but well beyond. The program was extremely well organised and our program coordinator was always available to us and very helpful and knowledgeable about everything we needed and especially the work we were doing.
Obviously, the first time you travel to a developing country such as Indonesia, you hear about the poverty and issues that local people are experiencing. But the fact of being present there really put things into perspective.
I felt so different and especially humbled after spending two weeks there, teaching the children basic English and getting to learn more about the culture and the way of life of local inhabitants. I am just so glad I didn’t let fear stop me from coming here. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming and I am thankful to everyone during these two amazing weeks.
Finally, some people say that travelling to a different country can sometimes be difficult, but the support and help offered by IVHQ, throughout the whole process, make you feel at home! From the first day to the moment of departure, they were there for me and for anything I needed!
I hope to be able to volunteer again with IVHQ and make a change in the future!

I did the teaching program this summer for two weeks in Ubud, Bali. It was one of the best weeks of my life. I chose Bali because I am from Indonesia but i live in Amsterdam. I wanted to follow a program where I could really make a difference, that’s why i chose Bali. The program was to teach the kids english and if they didn’t understand something I could explain it to them in Bahasa. Not only the kids were amazing but the other volunteers were also so livening and kind. I would really recommend to volunteer with IVHQ.
This was the first time for me to do a volunteer program abroad. I was really nervous to travel alone and stay with “strangers” for two whole week. But after the first day you already feel like you’re part of something big. I made friends from all over the world. For me these were two unforgettable weeks!! If you’re thinking about it, Do it! you will not regret it!

This was my first volunteering trip with IVHQ, and I’m certain it will not be the last. Bali had been my second home for two weeks and I had met the best people here! At first I was worried and anxious about going abroad all alone but when I put myself out of my comfort zone, I have one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Even though I only stayed for two weeks, I was indulging in the rich Balinese culture and was surrounded by helpful, supportive staffs and friends from all walks of life. Teaching the kids was very rewarding because I was welcomed with smiles and happy laughters everyday and the kids were so eager to learn. Being here definitely broadened my horizon and gave me a wonderful lifetime experience. Pictures will never describe my experiences here enough, and for sure it cannot explain how everything was even better everyday as I was with the best people!

My program with IVHQ in Ubud, Bali was honestly the most amazing opportunity and experience I've ever had. Though only two weeks, I truly felt like a different person leaving the program; I gained humility, understanding and an invaluable appreciation for balinese culture, however different it may be from mine. The other volunteers as well as the amazing local staff made me feel so safe, cared for, and welcomed--I will never forget them, not to mention the kids I taught, who by the end of two weeks had a special place in my heart. I cried when we had to leave them, and again in the taxi to the airport, overwhelmed with the thought that the most amazing experience of my life was now over. Though I am back in my home country now, the things I have learned and gained from this program I will long carry with me.

What an incredible journey! I have volunteer with IVHQ in Bali this summer for two weeks and this has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.

First of all, I did the turtle conservation project and fell in love with the island, the animals and the local people. The staff there is awesome and extremely supportive, always willing to help you if they can or listen and be there for you all the way.

During the 2 weeks, we worked with the turtles feeding them and cleaning them, we cleaned the beach and the streets, we made rubbish bins for the islanders... there were lots of things to do! We even try to build walls for the water bomb... and try is the word there.
But in every single activity we had so much fun and the coordinators were always there to help us.

We explored the island Nusa Penida where the project is seated and we couldn't believe the paradise it is. The views are breathtaking and the beaches astonishing, despite all the walking down the cliffs and then back up again. Be ready for a lot of sweating if you want to go to the best ones! We even went snorkelling and saw big turtles.
And the locals... always smiling and so welcoming.

Overall, I wouldn't change a single thing and I wish I could have stayed forever there!

Hello ! My name is Michelle, I'm 18 years old from Lebanon 🇱🇧
This august I volunteered for 2 weeks in Bali on the construction and renovation program and I wish I could have stayed longer. The journey radiates a feeling you can't express or accurately explain until you actually live it. IVHQ has taught me more about myself than anyone has for the past 18 years. It is a self developing experience that drags you out of your comfort zone to show you that life is all about perspectives and you get to choose how happy you want to be. I got to meet Bali not only through her tropics and beautiful sceneries, I got to meet Bali through the locals themselves. They always managed to put a smile on their face and never failed to make me feel at home. I can't wait to discover new places with IVHQ 🤩🤩

I volunteered for 3 weeks on the turtle conservation program with IVHQ, and I can confidently say that this has been a life changing experience for me; as I have returned from the trip feeling more confident.

The introduction week was a great way to meet new people and explore Bali, from visiting the monkey temple in Ubud, to spending the day at Kuta Beach; the local team are always ready to help you get around.

The volunteer work took place on Nusa Penida where we looked after the turtles. This included cleaning their tanks, brushing them clean, and feeding them fish and crabs. Other tasks included street cleaning, beach cleaning, crab catching and trash bin making.

Accommodation at both locations were top notch, with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. The food was lovely and catered to everyone's needs.

Overall this has been a wonderful experience and I will definitely be volunteering with IVHQ again in the future.

I had the time of my life in Bali, I made a bunch of friends and I got to contribute in world a better place. I have memories that will last me a lifetime. The locals and the volunteers were so friendly, everyone was so happy I just wish I could of stayed longer. It was so peaceful to get away for the busyness of every day life. It was worth every second and I’d love to go again. I didn’t mind the hard work, the heat or working for free at the end of the day it was totally worth it! Learning to cook local foods and hand weave the daily ceremony baskets was a cool look into the lives of the locals, and getting to see the monkey forest and the sunrise hike was an amazing way the explore the island. I would definitely do it again there’s nothing like waking up oceanside on a tropical island.
