Research Credible Platforms
Use sites like UN Volunteers or AIESEC, which vet partner organizations for safety and impact. Avoid unknown platforms without proper verification.
Match with Your Skills
Choose projects aligned with your skills—teaching, design, fundraising—to ensure meaningful contributions and personal development.
Understand the Commitment
Some programs ask for a full-time presence, others for a few hours a week. Make sure the commitment aligns with your availability.
Prepare Required Documents
Most programs ask for a CV, motivation letter, and references. Prepare these in advance to apply quickly when opportunities open.
