VOLUNTARY TOURISM
Recently, it has become common for young people to do voluntary work abroad. These ‘voluntourists’ teach languages,
they work in hospitals or they help bring clean water to villages. They do it because they want to help others, they want
to make a difference. But they also want to travel, to make friends and to challenge themselves in new, exci!ng and
perhaps difficult situa!ons. Pop star Jus!n Bieber once helped build a school in Guatemala. He said it was a rewarding
experience that taught him a lot about the world and about himself.

GET A BETTER JOB

And finally, people do volunteer work to improve their career prospects. When you volunteer, you learn key skills such as
how to work in a team. You learn about other cultures. You may also receive training in health care, educa!on or
emergency work. So, clearly, if you have volunteering experience on your CV, you’re more likely to impress an employer
and find the job you want.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Volunteer work is good for society but it’s also good for volunteers. You help others and learn about yourself. You do
something useful and learn key skills. You give something to society and make friends. You can discover that wonderful
sense of camaraderie when you’ve worked with a group of people towards a common goal. So why don’t you have a look
around and see what kind of voluntary work you could do? You won’t make money but you might get something a lot
be$er.
