About Program
Vietnam is an incredibly vibrant country with bustling cities, idyllic beaches, and amazing street food and temple architecture. Kaya is proud to offer a number of important community based volunteer projects and internships in Vietnam. From business development, to healthcare and occupational therapy, to climate change or environmental engineering internships - there is a project for everyone based on your skills, passions, or travel plans.
Internships enable volunteers to gain a more in-depth experience in their field of study, and can be used as a credit in your university course. But if you simply want to volunteer, get your hands dirty, and give back to the local community then consider one of the volunteer placements. Immerse yourself into the community and see the real Vietnam with Kaya Responsible Travel.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how Kaya Responsible Travel is promoting ethical volunteering.
