Volunteering abroad can be rewarding—but it’s not for everyone.
Pros
- Immersive cultural experiences
- Skill building
- Global perspectives
Cons
- Short‑term impact risks
- Volunteer fees
- Cultural misunderstandings
Choose registered NGOs, ask for monitoring reports, and avoid short‑stint tourist programs.
