Who can volunteer in the Caribbean?

The simple answer is everyone that is 18 years old or more. The requirements will vary according to the project, but basically, if you have the time and the desire to help others, you may find an opportunity right for you.

One of the best things about volunteering is that you can choose to work in a wide range of different countries. There are opportunities to volunteer in the Caribbean, as well as in other parts of the world.

Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Honduras are some of the most popular destinations for volunteers in the Caribbean, with a wide range of different projects available, such as animal care, video making, painting & decorating, social work, and so on.
