Volunteer in South Korea

I truly grew,I felt happy,it helped me to heal myself and also help people.It was that great and important.
My advice is: don’t hesitate,this was truly the best because I could be so included locally which is the best way to travel and help people.

The preparation I received from IVHQ was thorough and the video calls were most helpful!

The local support team was excellent, they went above and beyond my expectations, and clearly, they enjoyed what they were doing.

I personally gained satisfaction from being a part of something that will benefit young children and which will hopefully allow them to develop into mature adults.

The meals were excellent and I enjoyed eating the local food.

I would strongly recommend this program to anyone thinking of doing something different and wanting to see how other people live.

My time volunteering allowed me to contribute directly to the community I worked with. Whether I was teaching, building infrastructure, or assisting with healthcare initiatives, I felt my skills were put to good use, helping people improve their lives. I’m proud to know that the work we did had a lasting effect, from providing better education to fostering a more sustainable environment. It’s incredible to think that my efforts were part of something bigger, creating long-term, positive changes in the community.

The personal fulfillment I’ve gained from volunteering has been incredible. Knowing that I’ve made a tangible difference in someone's life gives me a sense of purpose that is hard to find elsewhere. The gratitude expressed by the people I helped and the deep connections I formed have made this experience unforgettable. It’s a feeling that continues to motivate me to stay involved in social causes and pursue work that aligns with my values.

Volunteering helped me see myself as a global citizen. I feel more connected to the world now, understanding the challenges that people in different parts of the world face, and realizing how much we all share. The cultural exchange I experienced, through learning from others and sharing my own background, was enriching and eye-opening. Volunteering has truly transformed my outlook on life. The lessons I’ve learned, the people I’ve met, and the contributions I’ve made have all shaped me into a more compassionate, resilient, and purposeful individual. I can’t wait to continue giving back in meaningful ways.

The support they provide is wonderful for a solo traveler, it really helped me feel confident in engaging in the program and making the most of my trip.
