Volunteer Abroad or Intern Abroad on a Gap Year or 6 month Quest

• To experience something different.
• To discover something about themselves.
• To find their own purpose.
• To connect. To learn. To grow.
• To immerse themselves in a culture, perhaps their own heritage.

What will it be like for you? It will be your very own mission of discovery, and we will help you every step of the way.

Let us help you create the experience of a lifetime.

We are so proud of volunteers like Taylor who do their part to create a global community, one relationship at a time. Taylor volunteered for one year in a small primary school in Amager, Denmark.  During the day, she would help out in English classes for grades three to nine, assisting teachers with lessons and helping out with the needs of the classroom.  In the afternoons, Taylor would take the younger children on field trips and conduct other activities as part of an after-school program.

Taylor would like to recognize her host family, the Frødings, from her host community.  Taylor says, “They treated me like part of their family, getting to know me and letting me truly get to know them; they were overwhelmingly generous with their time and energy, going out of their way to introduce me to traditional Danish customs and to have me experience parts of Denmark I wouldn’t normally have seen. Being a host family isn’t easy but through kindness, understanding, and a healthy dose of Danish humor, the Frødings truly made Denmark feel like my second home.”

Taylor remembers her experience: “United Planet was a phenomenal experience that I will always be thankful for and it introduced me to people, places, and a culture that I will always cherish.”
