Volunteer in Vietnam for a meaningful, challenging and ultimately rewarding experience in one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant and enchanting cultures. This beautiful country extends along a narrow and long coast, bordering Cambodia, Laos and China. The landmark cities of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and Hanoi have attracted travelers for decades due to the classic Vietnamese cuisine, friendly people and colorful markets. Volunteering in Vietnam offers volunteers the opportunity to trek the dense jungles and stretching coasts, explore beautiful Halong Bay, and travel the Mekong Delta by boat.

Vietnam is probably best known for the well documented Vietnam War, from 1955 to 1975, which left Vietnam politically divided into two separate parts. Though the aftermath of the war initially left this communist-unified nation politically and economically backward, Vietnam has struggled to regain its position in the world. To achieve this, Vietnam has welcomed a number of volunteers in major sectors such as education, health, environment and youth development and other support programs.
