Why traveling solo is a social experience

Volunteer projects in Indonesia

One shouldn’t be short on options to volunteer in Indonesia, a country formed by more than seventeen thousand little islands. The 5 main islands are Papua, Sulawesi, Java, Kalimantan and Sumatra. In any territory among those, you can find volunteer programs to help preserve the rainforests, teach English, work with wild animals in a sanctuary, or help a farmer with permaculture daily tasks. There is much to be done and your help can mean real change for the better.

How to volunteer in Indonesia with Worldpackers?

By exchanging a few hours of work using your skills, you’ll have the opportunity to meet other travelers, experience local culture and save money on lodging. In addition to receiving accommodation in Indonesia, many hosts offer other benefits to their volunteers such as breakfast, lunch, bikes and tours for free. Verified members also have Worldpackers insurance which pays up to 3 nights of accommodation in case something happens. Join our community of more than a million travelers around the world!
