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

This was my first time traveling and volunteering internationally by myself. I had a lovely experience with IVHQ. Before my trip, they did an excellent job helping me with whatever I needed to feel prepared for my trip. Honestly, when I got to my travel destination, I didn't know what to expect because I've never been to the country before, and I had no family there at all. It was quite nerve-wracking, but as soon as I met up with the local team, I immediately felt welcomed. It was like a big community and family. On this trip, I had an amazing time volunteering, helping a community, immersing myself into a new culture, and making new friends. Meeting the people in this program was probably the most memorable part. It's like coming together with people who are kind and compassionate, and want to help the world as much as you do. It's really refreshing to be with such amazing and intelligent human beings. The local team was impeccable, as well as the food. I loved everything about it (maybe it was a little too hot than what I am used to, but it was worth it). Do not hesitate and do this, it will be a transformative experience.

The first thing I can say about IVHQ is that they facilitated the best experience of my life. The time between applying to the program and actually travelling was nearly 2 years, and the team were incredible. Any questions/concerns were answered in depth and quickly, and I attended a couple of the online sessions, which were incredibly informative. While in Vietnam, the local team were incredible, supportive and treated everyone like family. I genuinely couldn't have had a better experience and would recommend it to anyone and everyone!

The training beforehand was great and helped me when we were in Vietnam. The local team were exceptional in their assistance and support throughout our time there. This trip was an eye opener for us. We loved mixing with the true locals and chatting to them even with the language barrier hindering us a little. It's a great way to see another country but also give back a little to the local community. The tips we got from the other volunteers were invaluable (local knowledge)
We intend on signing up for another IVHQ trip next year.

This was my first volunteer experience, and from the very beginning, both the teacher and the children welcomed me warmly. Regardless of nationality or age, I was able to connect with the children through various activities. The time I spent with them is something I treasure deeply. I learned a great deal and made many discoveries through this volunteer experience, which far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend those who are interested in volunteer program. I guarantee that this volunteer experience will definitely change your perspective and provide valuable insights for your future.

My local team were so friendly and welcoming - I felt part of the family! My coordinator for the medical placement was very knowledgable and made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. I gained so much experience and knowledge through this medical program and it was extremely eye-opening to witness the hospital conditions in a bustling city. I was able to gain hands-on experience in physical therapy settings and could watch surgeries be performed in the operating room. I can't recommend volunteering through IVHQ enough!

Volunteering in childcare in Vietnam was an incredibly rewarding experience that I will cherish forever. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the coordinators, who were not only organized but also genuinely passionate about their work. They provided us with all the necessary information and support, ensuring that we felt comfortable and prepared for our roles. Their dedication to the children and the community was evident in everything they did, from planning engaging activities to offering guidance and encouragement to volunteers.

The children were the heart of this experience. Each day was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable moments. I was amazed by their resilience and joy, despite the challenges they faced. Working with them allowed me to witness their creativity and curiosity firsthand. Whether we were playing games, helping with homework, or simply sharing stories, the connections we formed were truly special. The coordinators facilitated these interactions beautifully, creating an environment where both volunteers and children felt valued and supported.

Overall, my time volunteering in childcare in Vietnam was transformative. The coordinators' unwavering support and the children's vibrant spirits made this experience one of the most fulfilling of my life. I left with a deeper understanding of the culture, lasting friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to make a positive impact while experiencing the warmth and beauty of Vietnamese culture.

This is a fabulous way to see another country from the inside. I was honored to be able to work with the respectful and friendly young Vietnamese students to improve their English speaking and listening skills. It felt good to be busy from Monday to Friday and then I was able to fully enjoy my free weekends. The local team were wholeheartedly supportive throughout the trip.

At first it feels a bit daunting, especially if you are traveling alone, but the orientation day soon puts you at ease. Thanks to all.

I had an incredible experience with both the staff and the medical program in Vietnam! The Local Team and everyone involved in the program were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. Their friendliness made the entire trip even more enjoyable and enriching. The program itself was well-organized, and I learned so much from both the local medical staff and the hands-on experience. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a meaningful and fulfilling experience. I truly hope to embark on more of these trips in the future, as this one left such a lasting positive impact on me!
