Volunteer overseas in community, grass roots projects
Amazing volunteer overseas placements! Read about the field projects we support and you can join in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Nepal!
Open your mind, get new perspectives! Your first experience may be our acclaimed Cross Culture and Volunteer Training in Nong Khai, Thailand, also open to other volunteers, backpackers, and travelers, and free for Openmind Projects volunteers.
 Spend your volunteer money wisely!
Openmind Projects offers low cost, affordable and value for the money volunteering work abroad. Why pay -90 /€50-75 per day, the rates many European and U.S. travel and volunteer organizations charge, when you can pay only /€17 per day with Openmind Projects in Thailand for a two month period? Check out our low fees!
Our Volunteer with Support option is a real bargain!
/€17 is about 680 Thai baht. On your own a room in a guesthouse in Thailand would cost you 400-700 baht per day and wouldn't include a volunteer placement/project, meals, volunteer support, handbooks or training!
With us, your entire fee goes towards supporting our grassroots projects in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Nepal as well as supporting you as an overseas volunteer!
Volunteering is possible all year-round. Volunteer projects include: education, environment, conservation, health care, eco tourism, work with orphans and children, and more. If you're looking for a rewarding experience have a look below at some of the projects supported by Openmind Projects.
