Volunteer in the Middle East

Volunteer abroad in the Middle East: 1-12 weeks

“I had been studying the Middle East independently and in school for nearly five years before I finally got to visit through United Planet. It was an absolute dream come true for me. I was able to transfer my book learning into a real world application and make so many new friends.

Volunteer Abroad Programs

Short-term Quest (1-12 weeks):

  • Popular with students and families during summer, winter, and spring breaks. Adventurers and retirees may join programs year-round
  

Group Quests:

  • Universities, Schools, Corporate, Youth Groups, Spiritual Organizations.
  • Create your own customized Group Volunteer Programs such as alternative breaks, or team-building trips for employees in Jordan.

Immerse yourself in Middle Eastern culture while staying in the capital city of Jordan. Volunteer teaching English to the local Bedouin children, dip your feet into the Dead Sea, and enjoy the local falafel. These are just a few examples of what a United Planet Quest may entail.
