Nigeria Volunteer Quest
Volunteer in Nigeria: 6 or 12 months

"Living in Lagos for a year was fantastic - I made lifelong friends and had an unforgettable experience.  Nigeria is loud, hot, crazy, beautiful and amazing.  I can't wait to go back and visit!"

- Chelsea Ricker, United Planet volunteer in Nigeria, 2008

The purpose of this Quest is to promote a deeper level of cultural exchange and understanding through meaningful volunteer work at local organizations and immersion in the host community.

Volunteer opportunities begin August and January of each year:

1) Social Projects – Volunteers help children from a variety of disadvantaged backgrounds including rescued child laborers, abandoned street children, disabled children, children from troubled families, those who have suffered abuse, and orphans. Volunteers assist local organizations with fundraising, supervise the children’s playtime, develop activities and workshops and support families from some of the poorest areas.

Volunteer Accommodations

Volunteers live with host families.
