United Planet also offers long-term (6 months and one year) volunteer abroad programs and virtual volunteering and virtual internships (1 month to 6 months) in Vietnam. Learn more about all of our volunteer abroad programs and virtual volunteering and virtual internship countries in Asia.
Explore Vietnam’s unique ecosystem, or stick to the bustling cities. Enjoy a traditional ‘Water Puppetry’ show in one of the many historic theaters or, venture over to the world’s largest cave, Son Doong. The unique country has something for everyone.
Vietnam’s popular festivals usually revolve around the lunar calendar, the most popular of these being the Te’t New Year Celebration, or Vietnamese New Year. Ward off evil spirits with traditional parades with drumming, firecrackers, and gongs.
Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, enjoys French influences and is sometimes called the ‘Paris of the East’ due to the French influences. The capital pays homage to the nation’s most iconic Communist-era leader, Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh City, also, has French colonial landmarks, most famously the Central Post Office.
United Planet Quests are designed to be immersive, authentic, comprehensive and provide you everything you’ll need to succeed. The program elements allow you to engage fully with a new culture, forge strong relationships, and challenge yourself. Most importantly, we partner with the community to ensure your experience will be important, relevant and helpful to the community you serve.
Due to varying airline prices, United Planet does not arrange or cover the cost of flights to and from Vietnam. However, we arrange all ground transportation to and from the airport in Vietnam and will ensure that you arrive safely at orientation. Volunteers should arrive on Mondays and Tuesdays between 6 am and 10 pm.

We want you to succeed. That means having in place the support our volunteers need. We don’t just drop you in country and hope for the best. We provide training before you leave … language exposure … 24/7 in-country support … support for your host family … accommodations, meals and airport transportation … activities and excursions. The whole idea is to make the experience successful and productive for you and the host community, and we have found that these things are crucial. Remember that we are a non-profit, mission-driven organization – we wouldn’t spend money on something that wasn’t important.
