Taiwan Volunteer Quest
Volunteer in Taiwan: 6 or 12 months

"Planning a trip to a foreign country where everything and everyone are essentially alien to you can be fairly stressful. With United Planet you can rest assured that your trip will be an experience filled with cultural exchange, exciting excursions, and photos that will awe your friends back home."

- Paolo, United Planet volunteer in Taiwan

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) Education projects – Help children and young people from underprivileged families through activities such as organizing games, creating workshops and assisting them with their homework while instilling in them the importance of education.

2) Social projects – Help children and adults living with a variety of disabilities.  Your assistance will help them to develop personal skills that allow them to become less dependent on others. Tasks can range from assisting with academic subjects, teaching vocational education topics to physical and language therapy. 

3) Work with the Elderly – Work in a nursing home where your aim is to create a joyous place for older individuals. Your duties will include spending time with them in conversation, reading or games as well as assisting during meal times and activities, such as music, reading and outdoor activities.
