Discover the world. Make a difference.
Volunteering abroad offers a unique opportunity to make a difference in the world while exploring new cultures and destinations. We work with trustworthy and legitimate volunteer projects all over the world, providing an interesting and rewarding travel experience to travellers who want to participate, rather than just visit a destination.
Whether you want to volunteer as part of a round-the-world trip or as a standalone adventure, we offer a range of different options including animal welfare, social projects for children and young people, and environmental and marine conversation.
Types of volunteer projects with KILROY
Marine Conservation
Want to help protect the world's oceans? Join a marine conservation project and to support initiatives across Asia, Europe, Africa, Central America and Oceania. You'll have the chance to learn all about marine species and the steps being taken to protect local environments and aquatic wildlife.
Whether you're an experienced diver or want to learn to dive as part of your volunteering project, we have a range of options for divers of all levels.
Spend anywhere from seven days to three months at some of the world's most beautiful coastal destinations combining scientific diving with marine research and community education or campaigning.
Wildlife Conservation
Do you want to volunteer with animals and help preserve wildlife? Join a wildlife conservation project and play a pivotal role in protecting the world's endangered species. Choose from projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America to work with local communities rehabilitating and caring for abandoned or rescued animals.
You could be working with elephants in Thailand, wolves in Portugal, monkeys in the Amazon or big cats in South Africa.
Whichever project you choose, you'll be joining highly ethical initiatives run by passionate animals lovers working to improve animal welfare and ensure our treasured species are around for generations to come.
Community Volunteering
Prefer working with people? Join a community volunteering project working with children or disadvantaged adults in a range of immersive local initiatives across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Pacific and Europe.
Choose from teaching and childcare projects to medical placements and healthcare development. If you enjoy working with your hands, join a construction and renovation effort or if sports are more your thing, join a youth development project.
Whatever your skills or passions, we offer a choice of community-based projects that will develop your CV and provide you with valuable real-world experience.
Environmental Conservation
Do you want to work outdoors and help contribute to climate action? Take a look at our range of environmental conservation projects in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe.
Roll up your sleeves and work alongside local communities protecting fragile ecosystems and tackling environmental issues with activities such as tree planting, beach clean-ups, education and research.
See the fruits of your labour as you reforest national parks, clear coastal habitats of damaging human waste and help develop local recycling systems to safeguard the future.
