Volunteer in Asia

You are needed: 1-52 weeks to open your world, mind, heart

“My time in Tibet was absolutely unforgettable - everything I had hoped for and much more. The volunteer work (teaching English to children) was so rewarding! Immersing in the spectacular Tibetan culture was a dream - an absolutely eye opening and unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend for people of all ages and nationalities. I want to thank United Planet for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime!”   


--Brooke Rae, United Planet Tibet Quest Volunteer
