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

Learning a bit about the Balinese culture and then teaching the students was a very rewarding experience. I completed this with my 16 year old daughter and stayed in the upgraded accommodation in a private room. The accommodation was with a local family just down the road from the Green Lion. The family was lovely and could speak basic English. We only had time to teach for one week but would have loved to have completed two weeks at least. All the volunteers participating were wonderful people and everyone got along really well. There was plenty of spare time to discover the wonders of Ubud in between working. IVHQ and our hosts Green Lion were wonderful to work with, very supportive and well organised. I highly recommend completing this program or any volunteering overseas with these organisations.

From the time that I first heard about IVHQ— I felt like it was destiny. Being my first solo female volunteer trip, I was definitely scared. Though the entire process of planning helped relieve so many nerves. Any questions I raised— a member of IVHQ was quick to respond (which I had a lot of questions…) upon landing in Bali, the airport pickup option went so smoothly& I was safely transported to the volunteer center where I met some of the most amazing people that I will cherish for life. I chose to do the introduction week— and I’m SO SO thankful I did. This truly submersed me in Balinese culture& gave me a taste of the mainland Bali before heading to Nusa Penida for 2 weeks for my sea turtle conservation volunteer program. Within Nusa Penida, there were many options to explore the island outside of the volunteer opportunity.

At my volunteer accommodation— the staff, fellow volunteers, bedroom, bathroom, food, everything exceeded my expectations. The staff is so welcoming and knew my name the second time I said hello! There are so many volunteers who have common interests as you who you are able to connect with and grow. The turtles were absolutely amazing. I can not feel more blessed to have such an incredible experience impact my life as much as this did!

I can’t wait for my next trip through IVHQ

My experience with volunteering in Bali was fantastic. From the initial application process through until my departure from Green Lion.

Ella, the woman with whom I corresponded while still at home was super helpful, responsive and encouraging. The staff in Bali were the same. They were very welcoming, understanding and educational.

As the oldest volunteer, a grandma myself, I met incredible participants, most in the young twenties, that were very accepting of me and willing to let me tag along to extra activities with them, which I really appreciated.

My co-teacher had been there a week already when I arrived and was very happy to have the help, as I was excited to jump in.

The kids were super fun. Very excited to learn and get to know us and help us learn about their lives and culture. We taught them healthcare and English and they taught us some new games and let us taste test some of their snacks.

Overall, I would highly suggest the program, It was incredibly well organized, well thought out and provided me with a nice balance between free time and work time.

I am 57 years old and went to Bali for 3 months in April on a healing journey. I was anxious and hesitant about going, especially as I had never even flown on my own. I needn’t have worried, the whole experience was one of the best in my life. The staff, coordinators and the other volunteers helped to make my time there incredible. I pushed myself out my comfort zone many times and have benefited from it enormously. I miss my children in the kindergarten and primary schools. Bali, the people and this experience will always hold a place in my heart. I am so glad I did it.

I volunteered in Bali for 4 weeks. I did a week long orientation in Ubud where I got to learn more about the local culture and language, and got to visit some cool sites like the monkey forest and holy water temple. I then went to Nusa Penida where I volunteered with the sea turtle conservation center for 3 weeks. The staff was amazing - very kind and informative, I got a lot of hands-on experience with the turtles, and got to participate in various conservation efforts like beach clean-ups. I had an awesome time there and was not ready to leave! This project is great for solo travelers and those who like being outside and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Highly recommend!

IVHQ was wonderful. The organization helped me step by step through the whole process to make everything as stress free as it could be. It was a wonderful experience and the Green Lion coordinators were amazing. They made sure we were all safe, helped us with anything we needed and made the stay as comfortable as possible for us. I met many people from around the world and made unforgettable memories and learned so many things from not just Bali and their culture, but from the other volunteers and the sea turtles

Such an incredible experience. Got to meet amazing people and care for the beautiful turtles. The coordinators in Ubud and Nusa Penida were so friendly and helpful. The entire experience was so cool and IVHQ was so great leading up to the trip with the information and transport.
Being able to stay in such a feel good environment where everyone was up for a chat was amazing. The food was also very tasty and we were very lucky to get all meals provided. Having a private bathroom for just a few of us was also a plus.

This was by far my most rewarding volunteer experience. IVHQ does an amazing job preparing you for the best time of your life. I did the sea turtle conservation project in Bali and you get to not only watch these turtles grow up, but you get to be the reason they do. I would recommend this project to anyone who loves animals, especially our ocean friends. Not only do you get to be with the turtles, but you get to be within the culture of Nusa Penida. This culture was so beautiful to learn about!
