Globalcrossroad Most Affordable Winter Break Volunteer Abroad Programs

If you are thinking to volunteer abroad during winter break but are unsure where to go then Global crossroad has selected some of the most meaningful and affordable winter break volunteer programs for you to choose from.

Panda Conservation in China

Possibly one of the most unique winter volunteer abroad programs on offer, imagine spending your Christmas helping at a panda conservation centre. Pandas are well insulated for the winter weather and are magical creatures but sadly in danger.

Spending a winter break volunteering abroad in China will let you explore this vast country while helping the staff at the centre feed and care for the pandas. If you are lucky there may even be some baby pandas to look after.

Elephant Conservation in Sri Lanka

Another amazing creature to spend time with is the elephant. Volunteer abroad this winter break with the gentle giants on the tropical island of Sri Lanka.

Elephants are an endangered species worldwide and while the Sri Lankans don’t hunt elephants for ivory, they do use them for heavy manual labour such as logging or a tourist attraction, allowing people to ride them daily.

This winter volunteer abroad program will allow you to help out at a conservation centre and ensure that the elephants live as naturally as they would in the wild.

Healthcare project in South Africa

South Africa is a beautiful country and still warm and sunny in the winter. If you decide to spend your winter break volunteer abroad project here you will be based in Cape Town and working in local clinics helping with awareness programs, assisting patients and taking vital signs to even wound dressing.

Volunteers with medical experience may shadow doctors and learn from observation.

HIV/AIDS Projects in Uganda

This winter break volunteer abroad in Uganda, one of the most exotic and interesting destinations on offer at Global crossroad. Since Uganda receives few tourists or volunteers compared to its neighbours it is a place where you can really make a difference.

Winter volunteer abroad programs focus mainly on tackling the country’s most serious problem – HIV.

Through helping to raise awareness and creating materials and workshops to educate people, you can help the country tackle HIV and positively change the lives of many people.

Handicraft Project in Brazil

Winter break volunteer abroad programs in Brazil are great opportunities for volunteers who can speak some Portuguese.

Women are often marginalised in Brazil and through this project volunteers will be teaching women from low-income areas essential handicraft skills such as making pottery, sewing and market crafts.

Having a skill and a product to sell can be incredibly empowering and really make a difference to the women’s lives.

Teach English in Ecuador

Ecuador is a beautiful country and a great place to take a winter break volunteer programs. Lack of quality education is a serious factor in the country and is holding the country back from developing.

As a volunteer teaching English in Ecuador you can make a real difference by working with school children to improve their spoken English. If they have good language skills they can improve the tourism and gain a good job in the future, being able to support their family and their country.

Winter break volunteering abroad will allow you experience a wonderful friendly country.

Guatemala Women’s Project

Escaping real winter for a winter break volunteer program in Guatemala is a great experience. Not only will you get to experience a country full of culture but also allow you to make a meaningful difference to the women you work with.
