Volunteer Activity Ideas
Post by: Ellen Varoy


Volunteering through community service projects is one of the
most rewarding experiences you can take part in. Putting your
skills and time to use has great personal benefit, including
improved health, mood and sense of purpose.
For the community where you’re volunteering there are positive
benefits too, with volunteer efforts adding up to create stronger
neighborhoods that have a greater sense of community pride
and connection. The best part is, all these benefits can be
undertaken in your local community or you can choose to
support a community abroad.
The difficult part can be finding the right volunteer activities
and community service projects that suit your skills. We have
10+ years of volunteer experience and we’re here to help guide
you to the 15 best community service projects that are perfect
for college students, high school students, families and adults.

What is community service?
A quick Google search of community service comes back with
the result: voluntary work intended to help people in a
particular area. The best part about that definition is you can
choose the area you want to help! Here at IVHQ, our strength is
connecting well-meaning volunteers with responsible volunteer
work in 50+ destinations around the world. We allow volunteers
to take their skills abroad and support a community through

service projects that have a positive impact on people. That
isn’t to say that for you, community service can’t be down at
your local school, sports club or church. Volunteering locally is
the best stepping stone to volunteering internationally.

Who can take part in community service
work?
There really are no boundaries when it comes to volunteer
activities and the impact you can have in a community. There
are volunteer opportunities for all ages and your efforts can be
hands-on or office based. Or, you can choose to give back for
short durations or make a year-long commitment.
Different types of volunteer work can be better suited to
different types of people. Volunteers can often fall into the
following categories:
● College students
● High school students
● Adults


● Family
Keep in mind, there are no standard boxes when it comes to
volunteering. It’s about finding what’s right for you. In saying
that, certain types of volunteers can share similar motivations
which can be helpful when you’re trying to find the right
volunteer activity for you.
Typically for students, there is a desire to find purpose in the
world and gain practical experience on the things we have
learned. As adults we have acquired a wealth of knowledge and
skills, so we look to find avenues where we can put this to use.

In a family unit, we look for ways to use teamwork to effect
change and form closer relationships.
No matter your age, there is a volunteer activity that requires
your time and skills.

Why is community service so important?
So we’ve established that community service is intended to
help people in a particular area, but the critical piece to all of
this is why it is so important.
Regardless of whether you’re volunteering within your local
community or abroad, volunteering is the glue that holds
communities together. How many of us have parents that
volunteer their time and skills down at their local church, or
relatives that coach kids at the local YMCA, or brothers and
sisters that have volunteered abroad building community
centers?
The point is, community service happens around us all the
time, sometimes without the recognition it deserves, but the
benefits to individuals and the community are echoed for years


to come. It’s the backbone of what makes stronger and more
connected communities.

How you can take part in community service
work
Opportunities come to us in many different shapes and forms.
This is especially true for community service projects. It can be
a compulsory part of our college degree, you might have family
members that have deep connections to community

organizations or you just have a burning desire to do good in
the world and learn about yourself along the way.
We have a few easy steps you can follow to either gauge your
interest in supporting a local initiative or volunteering with a
community abroad. Find the level of commitment appropriate
for you and start volunteering:
Take time to focus on your skills and time availability
● Volunteering is a passion project that requires your best
work and time. Take the time to discover your closest


passions and establish the amount of time you’re willing
to dedicate to this. Then you will have an understanding
of organizations that will match with your motivations.
Talk to family and friends
● As we’ve covered, volunteering isn’t a new concept, so
you probably already know someone who has
volunteered their time and skills before. Quiz them on the
organizations they did community work through and
understand the benefits they gained from it. They will be
a helpful resource for your future plans.
Research online and offline
● The internet is a marvelous tool and one that has
connected over 123,000 individuals just like you to
communities abroad through IVHQ. A simple Google
search can reveal hundreds, if not thousands of local and
international community service opportunities that might
suit you. Since you’ve taken the time earlier to discover
your skill set and time commitment, this process
shouldn’t be too difficult to sift through your options. If all

else fails, get out on the streets and talk to local
organizations in your area, understand their struggles
and where your volunteer efforts could be needed. This is
the first step in making your volunteer dreams a reality.
Make a commitment
● Once you’ve done your research and understand where
your time and skills are needed most, it’s time to take the
leap and get stuck into some volunteer work! Depending


on the path you’ve decided to take, this commitment
could be 1 day a week at your local community center or
2 weeks in a community abroad.
So what could you do? Here are 15 community service projects
you should consider taking part in - whether that’s in your local
community or abroad
In our experience, these are the best volunteer activities which
volunteers of all ages can take part in:
● Childcare
● Teaching
● Medical and Healthcare
● Animal Care
● Environment
● Construction
● Arts and Music
● Sports
● NGO Support
● Refugee Support
● Women’s Empowerment
● Marine Conservation

● Community Development
● Elderly Care
● Special Needs Care

Childcare
While it does depend on the community you’re supporting,
childcare is often in demand. Whether it’s formal school style
care or informal games at a local community center. If you were
to volunteer abroad some of the tasks required of IVHQ


volunteers working in childcare centers is structured and
required on a daily basis, such as teaching, cleaning and
cooking. However, there are many occasions where you would s
need to show initiative to ensure the children are occupied and
learning, while having fun.

Childcare volunteer activity ideas
● Help children with arts and crafts at a local community
center
● Teach basic English in a Nairobi community
● Work with Big Brothers Big Sisters and spend time with a
little each week
● Help children to learn sports at your nearest community
center or sports club
● Babysit for friends and family (your local neighbourhood
even)

Teaching

Teaching is a community service project that really opens up
doorways to a whole world of opportunity for you and those
receiving your volunteer support. Sometimes there can be a
shortage of teachers ers within local communities abroad,
which is why heading overseas to teach a foreign language is
so popular and in high demand. These community projects are
perfect for college students in training and adults that are
qualified teachers.
Teaching volunteer activity ideas
● Teaching English to children and adults in Guatemala
● Teach elderly new technologies at senior centers within
your community
● Teach math to school children that require additional
support at your local community college
● Help children with their spelling at an after school tuition
center

Medical and Healthcare
Medical volunteering has a stronger presence as a community
service project abroad. This is commonly due to the fact that
healthcare can be less accessible in certain parts of the world,
however, medical students and certified professionals can still
give back in their own communities under the right
organizations.


Medical activity ideas
● Medical volunteering within local hospitals in Cusco - Peru
● Working with your local hospital to provide community

immunizations
● Supporting a local health clinic with basic administrative
tasks

Animal Care
Some of us don’t need to be told twice that you can volunteer
your time with animals. Whether you love dogs more than cats,
or birds more than rats, there are plenty of animals in your local
community and communities abroad that could sure use some
of your TLC.
Animal care activity ideas
● Help support animal rights in Mexico
● Work at your local animal shelter and care for cats and
dogs


● Connect with the SPCA on one of their donation drives

Environment
The environment we live in sure is a big and beautiful one, so
there is no shortage of work that can be done to maintain that
beauty, or better yet, enhance it! You’ll only need to step out
your front door to discover some form of environmental work
that can take place and if you’re feeling more intrepid,
communities abroad are just eager to receive your time and
skills.

Environment activity ideas
● Forest conservation through data research in madagascar
● Do rubbish pick up on your local streets on a set schedule

● Volunteer with your local council to preserve local parks
and walks
● Help with environmental sustainability in New Orleans

Construction


You don’t have to have a degree in engineering or be a
qualified builder to volunteer in construction based tasks.
Depending on your own skills (those qualifications might just
come in handy now) local communities and communities
abroad are constantly on the lookout for able bodies that can
give their time to ongoing projects.
Construction activity ideas
● Help provide neighborhood revitalization in New Orleans
● Work with local community initiatives that construct local
gardens
● Reach out to your local Habitat for Humanity for work
● Provide hands on work with construction in Nepal

Arts and Music
Expressing oneself through arts and music is a pastime that
everyone should be able to enjoy. Thankful, through the efforts
of volunteer work, you can bring this joy to your own
community or take the cultural learnings even further by
sharing this with a community abroad.
Arts and music activity ideas
● Give music lessons to children in your neighborhood
● Assist with arts and culture preservation in New Orleans
● Help facilitate a school play within your local community

● Take part in Carnaval preparation in Brazil

Sports
Upskill your sporting passions by taking part in community
focused work that provides transformative outcomes for others.
Whether you’re coaching a local sports team or helping to


introduce a new sport to a community abroad, there are so
many options on offer.

Sport activity ideas
● Coach soccer in morocco to school children
● Head to your local basketball courts and coach youth in
the community
● Work with local sports clubs that need administration
support and governance
● Help children to learn to surf in South Africa

NGO Support
NGOs are a key component to any community. Their reach and
value is often deeper than we expect and this is often done
with limited budget and resources. NGOs in your community
and communities abroad are screaming out for your volunteer
efforts. Whether it is hands on work or office based, there is no
shortage of activities you can take part in.
NGO support activity ideas


● Head to your local YMCA and offer your time to help raise

funds
● Help an NGO in Ecuador with their governance and
fundraising
● Volunteer at your local Feeding America to help provide
meals in your community
● Use your own initiative to facilitate the UN Development
Goals

Refugee Support
When we think of refugee support we often conjure up thoughts
of communities that we constantly see in the news. The truth is
in the increasingly global world that we live in, refugees are
transitioning into communities all around us. They require your
support through new friendships and valued donations, all of
which you can provide at home and abroad!

Refugee support activity ideas
● Provide assistance through monthly donations in the USA
