Vietnam Volunteer Programs from $18/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

I have volunteered for years around the world with different groups. You cannot do better than IVHQ. Their organization skills are 5 star. Their attention to every detail from registration to travel arrangements to daily activities to the transition homeward is perfect. I chose the construction team in Luang Prabang, Laos. Working with the locals building, painting, repairing schools was rewarding. I loved seeing the physical results of my labors. I would join the team at Luang Prabang again and again. We worked hard and played hard. Our hosts escorted us to numerous breathtaking locations. They invited me into their home for dinner and a fun game called pétanque. The first thing I did when I got home was purchase my own pétanque game set. These good people changed my life in so many good ways.

I can not thank you enough for my time shared in Ho Chi Minh City on the food outreach project.
The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish, I have already registered for my next program, that shows just how wonderful things were.
I ate things that were different from the normal things I eat. The strangest thing was a big snail & I liked it!
I experienced a lot of different Vietnamese culture & I especially loved the coffee. (I took two coffee making classes)
I arrived back in the U.K. last night & I am already missing my daily coffees.

Great support for my 2 weeks of volunteering in Ho-Chi-Minh-City (in a soup kitchen, preparing food for those in need). You receive a lot of valuable information before, during and after the programme. Great local team! We also had a lot of fun besides working.
Great personal experience - can recommend to everyone.
It is a great feeling to give something back to the society. People really enjoyed to see how enthusiastic we worked during our volunteering programme.
Every detail of the programm (accomodation, food, working hours, working location) is described in detail in advance.

This was my first ever volunteering experience abroad and I loved it! The local team were very helpful in making our volunteering experience smooth and memorable. They even went an extra mile to recommend places for us to visit around the city and even taking their free time to go with us. They were always there for our questions and helped us understand the culture and the language of the country and most importantly how to stay safe which made the experience great. I loved cooking new recipes and learn how to accommodate myself in new areas and talking with elderly.

My journey as a volunteer English teacher in Vietnam for a week has bestowed upon me a wealth of invaluable lessons. It has illuminated the significance of empathy, cultural exchange, support, responsibility, and humility in fostering personal growth and learning.

Also, the host were super welcoming and helpful in every aspect from airport pick-up, hostels, food/drinks recommendation and drop-off. I enjoyed our first class about introduction to language and culture. Thank you so much to all staffs, fellow volunteers and the IVHQ organisation.

This experience surpassed my expectations in all aspects. The company was extremely helpful whenever I had any doubts and responded to them very quickly which tranquilized me and assured me that I was being well taken cared of. The information presented in the website was very accurate compared to the actual experience and made my preparation go very easliy. Overall I'm extremely happy to have chosen IVHQ to embark on my first adventure in volunteering abroad and I cannot wait for my next one!

I never thought I would be so lucky with the people I met there, they truly changed my experience for the best.

One thing that surprised me and that I think is worth mentioning is that the local team was always with us in the hospital and assured that we were being well taken care of. I met other volunteers that came with other agencies that seemed lost in the hospital and didn't know where to go because they didn't have the support of a local team like we did. They introduced us to the healthcare professionals and taught us about the differences we would find in the system.

I am really happy with this experience and I would recommend it to everyone.

The collaboration of IVHQ with the green lion team in vietnam has been a very fruitful experience for me.

There was constant support from the IVHQ team and by the Green Lion Team.

The team in Vietnam was very friendly and the care given was super comfortable.

I was in Vietnam for a week, and every little things were taken care of.

We had a cultural vietnam class where we were taught about the use of currency, the best places to travel, the right flights to take incase you are looking for a domestic travel around the country(mostly useful for people staying for about 3-4 months).

There were basic language lessons given which helped us volunteers to do a basic conversation.

Mon to Fri the day is usually full packed depending on the kind of program, the duration of your stay and the experience you have had previously.

The volunteers come from around the world, so you get a window to the kind of people around the world.

The volunteers are super friendly,while literally becoming a part of a global group you develop friendships for life!

This is a great platform if you have never travelled solo. The weekends are generally free and you could move around the city, do hiking or just go partying. They help you with the best travel agents as well.

We had a karoake night and played games hence helping us volunteers to bond with each other and understand each other’s talents.

It was a very cherishable night !!

There was a curfew time in Vietnam which was 12:00am hence giving you enough time to move around the city and come back to the accomodation.

After you are done with the volunterring , you are generally free to do whatever you wish to do, allowing you to either enjoy your evenings or the mornings as per the timings of your volunteer program.

The volunteering is also not very stressfull and you have people who help you in getting the attention of the concerned people (in my case students! as I was in the English Teaching program) or help you with the technical stuff (usually for medical placement program).

I came back home with cherished memories and lots of Vietnamese soveneirs!! ;)

Hope you guys have a great experience !!

Happy Volunteering !!

Great programme. IVHQ helped me organize my trip and answered all my questions before I left, plus they sent me lots of information on everything I needed to know.
Once in Vietnam the staff was really helpful and welcoming. Orientation was useful as we were given all the country basic information, including language.
Great way to travel whilst gaining life experience.
Would recommend to solo travelers as it is a safe way of travelling and a good way of making like-minded friends.
10/10 experience.
