About
Volunteering Solutions was established in 2006 with the aim of changing the face of volunteer travel, and in the last 12 years, they have had more than 14,000 volunteers who completed their journeys with life-changing experiences. Nicknamed as VolSol, they provide volunteer and intern opportunities to interested candidates from different parts of the world, and ensure that each of them gets the maximum out of the programme they choose.
Currently, Volunteering Solutions operates in more than 26 countries, providing more than 150 volunteering and interning options ranging from Child Care, Teaching, Medical and Healthcare, Community Development, Marine Conservation and much more. Most of the volunteers are high school students, couples, corporate groups and individuals on their summer break or gap year.
They are in collaboration with NGOs, schools, hospitals, orphanages, HIV/AIDS clinics, women groups and other social welfare organisations all across the globe. Each of these organisations has been working at the grass-root level for years, and successfully contributed towards the development of the concerned people. VolSol has ensured that the contribution of every volunteer is counted, and there is sustainable growth.
For the internship programs, participants opting for Medical and Healthcare projects get to work with professionals and learn how to deal in emergency situations. The internship programmes are crafted and designed in a way that every participant gets to know about the medical scenario of a particular country. It is both an inward and outward journey - inward, as you’ll get to learn a lot through the first-hand experience, and outward, as the society will be benefitted by your contribution.
As an organisation, they have a cross-cultural set up in all their offices across the world, with people from different countries, cultures, and ethnicities working together in order to make the process of volunteer travelling smoother and more flexible. There are dedicated coordinators at each volunteer destination, coming from different countries. Volunteering Solutions take care of the volunteer’s placement, travel, accommodation, meals, and security.
