Volunteer in Romania
If you are looking for new challenge then volunteering in Romania could be for you. Some international travel operators support the work of local governments, charities, youth groups, and independent out-reach programmes which aim to improve the lives of people in Romania that need support. You can apply to join projects and intern programs all year round.
Volunteering in Romania can be a really eye opening experience where you can make a real difference. There are so many opportunities, from exploring the country on a tour, volunteering to help communities and animals like brown bears
Local charities and NGO’s have been running projects for decades supporting orphaned and abandoned children in Romania. Some programs have been lucky enough to accumulate support from commercial companies, universities, third sector support agencies; and hundreds of individual volunteers from around the world, which has enabled initiatives to expand and grow.
Some projects are based in the Olt region of Romania, in the towns of Slatina, Caracal and Cezieni. You could also work in the rural areas surrounding the town of Bacau. Whilst these places are all extremely different in history and current status, each have their own individual need which is being met by many of the organisations that work there.
