For those with empty nests or starting plans for retirement,
you know that the best days are still ahead. Don’t let old-
fashioned attitudes to age stop you making the most of your
new-found time. Gone are the days of travelling being the
preserve of the Gap Year student, so as older volunteers if
you see your retirement as an opportunity to start
fulfilling some of your dreams, then you are in the right
place!

More and more retirees are now making the most of their
spare time and are grasping hundreds of volunteer
opportunities around the world. Now is the time to share
your wealth of knowledge, life experience and most
importantly time, with those truly in need of your skills,
love and support. Whether you want to work in the field you
have experience in or want to try something completely new
and different we have projects to suit you.

From Lion Rehabilitation in Africa, supporting the drive
against Human Trafficking in Thailand, working alongside
Doctors in Belize or Teaching Underprivileged Children
India, there are a large range of projects for you to choose
from. Do something different as a retired volunteer and make
a tangible change to the lives of others with your time,
compassion and vitality.

Ask the team if you would like advice on projects that are
most appropriate to your specific needs. We have many
options where we can arrange for your own room, which are
less physical or that you are more likely to find older
volunteers on for example.

If you're looking for a bit of inspiration take a look at
our featured projects down the right-hand side of the page.
We've featured these all as great options for over 50
travel.

But don't stop there if you can't see what you're looking
for, all of our projects accept volunteers over 50 so take a
look around the rest of our site and see if anything catches
your eye!
