Internship in Vietnam for Community Development

In Vietnam we are dedicated to organizing volunteer internship programs that support the  most disadvantaged people in Vietnam, including abandoned children, the elderly without family,  people with disabilities, and underprivileged children. Our activities aim to provide healthcare,  social care, and education to these individuals—contributing to improving their quality of life and  creating a better future for them. By joining our programs, volunteer interns will be contributing to our  efforts to support the most vulnerable communities in Vietnam. They will also have the  opportunity to meet and live with other volunteers from around the world in our house called the Green House, where they will participate in meaningful humanitarian activities  together. 

We offer three main volunteer internship programs:

• Teaching: You will teach basic English, conduct recreational activities, and provide special education services to children aged 6-11 in kindergartens, primary schools, and schools for children with disabilities. No special skills are required, just basic English communication and a passion for working with children. Training is provided upon arrival.
• Social Work: You will provide social care to vulnerable individuals in social protection centers, including orphans, abandoned children, and the elderly. Activities include caring for infants, teaching life skills, and organizing recreational activities for people with disabilities. Training is provided.
• Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy/Mental Health: You will  assist physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, and staff with healthcare and treatment programs for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Training is provided.

All programs require a commitment of approximately 15 hours per week, with opportunities to assist in other programs during free time.
