    Overview

    Volunteer abroad with Kaya Responsible Travel! We have over 30 under-18 volunteer abroad opportunities available to 16—and 17-year-olds across our most popular countries and a summer teen volunteer program for 13-15-year-olds in South Africa. We work with community projects and locally driven initiatives, provide valuable funding and promote responsible travel in developing countries and areas of environmental concern.

    Volunteering on one of our projects is a great way to improve your confidence and meet new friends.  Plus, it makes a great ‘what-I-did-over-summer’ story when you return back to school in the fall. 

    Teen volunteers in South Africa are based in Port Elizabeth and work alongside South Africa’s Big 5: lion, African elephant, cape buffalo, rhino, and leopard. This impressive game reserve is situated in the Eastern Cape (85km out of Port Elizabeth, towards Grahamstown) and spans almost 6000 hectares. In addition to the Big 5 roaming free, the reserve has a predator educational and rehabilitation centre, which houses endangered and orphaned predators, such as rare Bengal tigers, wild dogs, white lions, and more. Volunteering on this project will allow you to make a difference in the lives and futures of South African animals through conservation efforts.

    Kaya works in a number of different project development areas. Choose to volunteer in environmental, marine, or wildlife conservation research, education, arts, and community development initiatives such as building, sports or childcare, and NGO development, and we have many excellent medical and health placements for those with experience or studying medicine or related health science.
