Vietnam Volunteer Programs from $27/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

It was my first time volunteering. In the begining I was doubtful about this experince, but I read these reviews and it was really clarifying. If you are doubtful about it just apply because it is worth it. Although the age difference among volunteers was variable, I think it really worked well and I got to meet people from different places and experiences. Also, the staff was really helpful and the program was well organized and with a good preparation. I absolutely recommend, it will be a life changing opportunity.

I had a wonderful and truly memorable experience participating in the International Volunteer Service – Food Outreach program in Vietnam. Spending a week volunteering in a different country was a rewarding opportunity to step outside my usual environment, meet new people, experience a different culture, and contribute to local communities in a meaningful way.

One of the most valuable parts of the program was working alongside volunteers from different countries and backgrounds. Although we had different cultures, experiences, and perspectives, we were united by a common goal of helping others. Working together as a team created a strong sense of friendship, cooperation, and community. I enjoyed meeting the other volunteers and learning from their experiences.

The Food Outreach program was particularly meaningful because food is a basic and important part of everyone's life. Being able to contribute to activities that support local communities gave me a greater appreciation of the importance of kindness, generosity, and community involvement. It also reminded me that even small contributions can make a meaningful difference when people work together.

I also greatly enjoyed experiencing Vietnamese culture. The local people were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the opportunity to explore the country, try different foods, and learn about local traditions. One of the most unusual and memorable things I tried was Vietnamese egg coffee, which was a surprisingly delicious experience!

Overall, this volunteering program was a very positive and enriching experience. It allowed me to help others while also learning, making new friendships, and gaining a broader perspective of the world. I am grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend the program to anyone interested in international volunteering and cultural exchange. It was an experience I will remember for a long time.

From the moment I started exploring the IVHQ website, the entire process was easy to navigate. The program guide I received after signing up walked me through everything I needed to know, from obtaining my visa to packing, arrival, and what to expect once I reached Vietnam. Every step was well organized, and whenever I had a question, someone was always available to help. IVHQ made volunteering abroad feel simple, and the experience exceeded all of my expectations. IVHQ made it possible for me to step outside my comfort zone with confidence. Their support before, during, and after my program allowed me to focus on serving, learning, and enjoying an experience that truly changed my life.

I'm in high school and wanted to try out one of IVHQ'S programs, I had chosen the food outreach program in Vietnam for a week over the July school holidays. Before the placement I received full support from my program manager Hannah who was extremely helpful with helping communicating all the dates and information I needed to know, When I had gotten to the placement I was greeted by the local team who were with us throughout the whole time and I had met great new people and gained some key experiences, the food offered was also a highlight, each morning we had received local traditional Vietnamese meals for breakfast and it was amazing!

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.

The Food Outreach IVHQ Program was life-changing for me. Seeing the difference the kitchen was making by feeding over 500 people a day was truly inspiring. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

Although I was traveling solo, I quickly made lifelong friends with so many people from all over the world. I cannot wait to return to Saigon.

IVHQ made the whole experience easy for me. There are so many different opportunities all over the world to choose from. Once you decide on a location and program everything is sorted.

IVHQ provided in-depth information prior to our volunteer posting. This allowed us to fully prepare and take into consideration small elements that we may have overlooked, like cultue shock. Being aware allowed us to normalise the experience and feel supported. They also provided guidance and support with regards to volunteering with our 13 year old child. They ensured that he to was in an appropriate program with myself that would support his learning and well-being. IVHQ were also very clear about sleeping arrangements whilst on the program and they provided alternative accommodation to consider. .

I did two weeks in a food kitchen in Vietnam which was absolutely incredible and worked out better than I could ever have imagined.. The co-ordinations were really helpful, friendly and supportive, and always on hand to help with anything at all. It was hard work but really rewarding and I felt I made a real difference. Starting just before 7am and finishing at 1/1.30 meant I had the rest of the day to go and explore Ho Chi Minh City which I loved and felt really safe. Even went to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat on my middle weekend. Would absolutely recommend and I’m looking forward to my next adventure with IVHQ.😊
