Bali Volunteer Programs from $26/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

I took part in the turtle conservation project in Bali for 4 weeks, including the orientation week in Ubud which I would highly recommend as being a first time traveler to Asia, the activities organised for us really helped me to understand the local area and it’s people. I had the most amazing experience and had the best time making the awesome new friends, learning about the Balinese culture, exploring the beauty of island and taking part in the conservation efforts of the Green Lion Turtle Conservation Centre. Nusa Penida now feels like my second home and the Green Lion Team feel like family. The IVHQ and Green Lion team was very supportive through the whole experience and made it truly memorable. I would recommend going for a 4 week minimum to really get the best out of the project.

I spent 5 weeks volunteering in a kindergarten and primary school in Lovina, Bali. This time would have to be the most memorable and rewarding 5 weeks of my life. I would consider myself well travelled person who has experienced many different cultures, but living in Lovina I was able to truly immerse myself in the local life and culture and I could not be more grateful for this opportunity. I chose to volunteer with International Volunteer HQ because it is an organisation that runs sustainable and positive projects that have been implemented for the greater good of these communities, as well as being highly affordable, which will allow me to continue travelling and hopefully do more volunteer work with them further down the track. I have met so many people from all over the world and I can truely say I’ve made friends for life. Being a tourism volunteer program, IVHQ gave me the opportunity to have an incredible balance of work and play. In my 5 weeks I got to see so much of Bali and surrounding islands as well as feeling like I was doing worthwhile work at the same time.

For my first solo trip, I'd decided to make it a meaningful one by volunteering with IVHQ and it has got to be one of the best decisions that I've made! From planning my trip to my arrival in Bali, everything were smooth-sailing as IVHQ would carefully list the things that I'd have to do and know prior to my trip. Although there were some skeptics about the program, after meeting the team at Green Lion, I felt reassured that it was going to be a wonderful trip and it really was!

I participated in the kindergarten program and although I would only interact with the kids for 2 hours each day, it was the highlight of my whole trip. Being able to speak bahasa is definitely an advantage as I was able to connect with the kids faster and execute the lesson in a way they could understand. The only thing I regret was that it was only for a week. It was bittersweet leaving the kids and Bali so soon but I know that I would be back again!

Never did I think I'd have such an incredible experience abroad volunteering. The level of care put into the program, the employees are so friendly and caring, and the food OH MY GOSH the food was so good. The staff cooked 3 meals each day with set times to arrive. The dishes were a mix of their traditional Balinese cuisines (to die for!) with some popular western dishes such as chocolate chip pancakes. I cannot recommend IVHQ enough. From start to finish they guided me and provided me the support to ensure I was fully prepped. The program offers an online guide with interactive tutorials and invaluable advice about the culture and regions you'll be visiting. They even offer assistance booking tour flight through a travel agency which proved to be extremely helpful. 10 stars!

My experience in Lovina, Bali was amazing. It was very rewarding and extremely rich in emotions. I have many good memories and I wish I could have stayed longer. Working with children was a unique experience. I learned a lot about Balinese culture and their values.

The coordinators really supervised us and made sure that our experience took place in the best conditions. In addition, the coordinators always brought me very quick answers to my questions. I think this adventure is interesting for anyone looking to help others but also to take time to be. Indeed, Lovina was the perfect place to relax and enjoy Balinese life.

I was able to organize my adventure as a volunteer in Lovina with the IVHQ association. I highly recommend this association which helped me to find the program that suited me best.

Excellent support for my family and I from well before the trip to well after. Local support was of high standard as well which is a direct reflection of IVHQ. Fees are the lower then other organizations according to our research and we would definitely work with IVHQ again.

I volunteered with IVHQ in Bali, doing the healthcare education program & my experience was beyond amazing. While preparing to go, IVHQ was of great help & support, the online guide had more than enough information, & whenever I had a question, my program manager was always there to help. The local staff in Bali were just as supportive, I felt so safe in their care. The accommodation was really nice, the house was beautiful, we had a daily cleaning service, the food was amazing, we had Western options as well as traditional Indonesian options. My placement was good too, I got to work with amazing people, & I made lots of friends there. I definitely recommend volunteering with IVHQ, cause they made my trip to Bali so worthwhile, & so much fun

This was truly a life enhancing experience and I was not expecting to gain such valuable insights and learning from this program.
IVHQ was professional and supportive and worked in perfect tandem with their local representatives of Green Lion. They really lived up to their promises in regards to food, accommodation, location and of course the program content itself. The work gave me a sense of purpose and achievement while allowing me the opportunity to really see firsthand local culture and the way of life In that area .... This is an excellent way of traveling, to see parts of the world not often explored by modern tourism, and done in a more responsible and sustainable manner. It gives the opportunity to give something back in exchange for some wonderful memories. I would highly recommend this volunteer  program .... 
It's easy to make new friends, especially if you take the orientation week, you get to know people better and spend time together. At the weekends there are plenty of trips to do, to explore the island and try local experience. The immediate locals are very warm and inviting and will let you get involved in what ever is happening in the village, for example we went to the local volley ball finals which was great fun and taken very seriously by the fans!!
If you are open to taking opportunities that arrive then you will have a rich and fulfilling time here!!!
