Volunteering overseas

Save the Children supports self-sufficiency in its global programmes, so we encourage overseas projects to recruit staff and volunteers locally.

Therefore we do not send UK volunteers to work on our programmes overseas. But there are many ways you can support us within the UK and dramatically help the lives of children both at home and abroad. Find out more about volunteering in the UK.

We also offer global paid employment opportunities and there are various charities and agencies that specialise in overseas volunteering, including Challenges Worldwide and VSO.
