If you want a life changing experience, volunteer overseas or join a group for a short term exploratory or working visit. We believe development is a two way street. You will learn as much or more from another culture as they will learn from you. Start your adventure today.
Devxchange and partners work in over 30 countries – so choose your adventure!

Understanding the past teaches us about our present and our future. With a Projects Abroad Archaeological volunteering project you’ll really get your hands dirty and unearth the clues that teach us about human behaviour in the past and what it means to us now.

If you’re thinking about a future in this field of work, hands-on experience is key. You’ll connect with professionals and get the skills and experiences you need to really understand what archaeology in the field means. You will build your confidence and understanding, and your experiences will give your resume the edge it needs to stand out.

Be immersed in the culture and cuisine, and get to witness the marvels of nature while helping to preserve it. These trips will speak to your inner adventurer and give you the opportunity to make connections with like-minded travelers.

Seeing the development of a child, and being a part of that process, is priceless. As a childcare volunteer, you’ll play a direct role in helping children, while also learning new skills.

Our Discovery Tours are just what every curious traveler needs. You can expect to experience plenty of new sights that the average tourist wouldn’t get to see. You may only be visiting, but you’ll be so immersed in the culture that you may feel like you’ve found your second home!

Join us on our Global Gap Year programme! This organised group trip is designed for students taking some time out before, during or shortly after university.

Join one of our international internships and gain work experience overseas to boost your professional development.

This is what you can expect on one of our internship opportunities abroad:

• Receive first-hand practical knowledge in your field to help your professional development
• Gain international work experience through experiential learning
• Hone vital professional skills like communication and organization

Improve your language skills while living abroad and exploring new places. Language Courses let you learn your chosen language from highly trained native speakers. We believe that everyone can get more out of their experiences when they learn new skills and the ability to strike up conversations with the people they live and work near.
Learning a local language, or a major language spoken around the world, will help you better understand the cultures and perspectives in your chosen destination.
As you learn a language abroad with us, you can choose from one-to-one or group lessons, with varying hours over one, two, three, or four weeks. Lessons will cover speaking, listening, reading and writing. These can be standalone classes or added on to many of our existing projects.
Invest in yourself by becoming a better communicator and reap the rewards that come from speaking another language.

A Medicine & Health Care Internship  will help you get the real-world clinical experience you need to excel in a medical career. Our medical trips  are flexible and safe. Programs can be adjusted to your level of experience, making them ideal for undergraduates and pre-meds aiming for Medical School.

To build a better future for us all, we need to engage with the big challenges that affect countless communities around the world. A Social Work internship could see you tackling issues such as alcoholism, abuse and family problems. There’s also the option work with families affected by HIV/AIDS. Or contribute to mental wellbeing on a Psychology Internship abroad. The internships bring you face-to-face with people who need support overcoming serious challenges.

Volunteer on a Sports Project with Projects Abroad and spend time in your chosen destination helping young people have fun and challenge themselves. Sport has the capacity to change lives. Alongside promoting lifelong health and fitness, sport can offer young people a path towards confidence, self-belief and achievement.

Live abroad and Study

Join a teaching abroad program and help children access the education they need for a brighter future. We know that education is essential for breaking down the barriers of poverty and inequality. We see it every day on our Teaching Projects. By joining us on a volunteer teaching placement, you’ll be able to make this change happen yourself!

Once you’ve traveled with us on a wildlife volunteer program, you won’t see the world in the same way again. You’ll experience the raw beauty and vulnerability of nature as you work alongside an international team. Together, you’ll protect endangered animals and ecosystems. So get your backpack, because you’re going on an adventure!

In many countries, women are marginalized and are often raised without the ability to speak up. They’re discriminated against in various areas with many women never receiving basic education. Without the opportunity for skills development, women and their families end up in a continuous cycle of poverty.

Assisting with the development of these children is a good way to understand the problems they face. Our Youth Development volunteer programs abroad will give you the chance to make a long-term impact on the future of these kids. Your help will improve their confidence as you interact and learn about each other’s cultures.
You’ll stay with local host families and experience what being in a new country is really like. On the days you aren’t working you can explore the city or go on guided tours. You’ll also meet volunteers and other like-minded individuals with whom you can share stories.
