Volunteering with IVHQ

May 4, 2018

Volunteering with IVHQ was by far the most amazing experience. I spent four weeks in Malaysia teaching children English. Before my trip I was just full of nerves and excitement, but the IVHQ team helped me also feel very prepared. While I was there they helped me with any problems I had along the way as well. You can tell they really care about their volunteers and their needs. Their programs are interactive, fun and very affordable! I've already recommended IVHQ to a bunch of my friends and I can't wait to volunteer with them again in the future!

What would you improve about this program?
Better communication with the volunteer placements to help prepare the volunteers as best they can!

Questions & Answers

Hi, I am curious to know if children are allowed to join in the program? We have sons 18 & 14 yrs of age. Thank you :)

Hi Angela, Volunteers between the ages of 16-18 years old can travel and volunteer alone on select IVHQ programs with parental/guardian consent. Volunteers under the age of 18 will be required to provide IVHQ with parental consent and two character reference letters in order to participate, and may be asked to provide further documentation to the local team depending on their chosen project.

Malaysia is located partially on mainland Asia and the island of Borneo. The country is incredibly diverse with just over 50% of the people being Malay. This diversity has brought in a spread of different religions and lifestyles, which you can see in everything from the architecture to daily life.
