Volunteer overseas is about traveling to fascinating and unique locations to experience much more than just what a normal visitor would do. You’ll get to experience local culture, make local friends while living with a local host family, participate in local customs, work on volunteer projects that will benefit marginalized communities and visit beautiful and awe-inspiring places. It’s a program that will thoroughly immerse you with the host country and through it, you’ll emerge mature, open minded and with a respect for cultures, customs and mores of people around the world. One of the unique destinations IFRE operates its program is volunteer in Costa Rica option. Costa Rica is a unique destination where you can not only improve your Spanish but also encounter exotic landscape filled with wonderful and strange wildlife, and also meet friendly local people while helping those that have been left out by the development bandwagon. Because of all these reason, Costa Rica is one of the most popular destinations. More than 50 volunteers choose to experience Costa Rica every month with IFRE.

Volunteer work in Ghana is another option if you want to experience Africa and encounter warm and friendly African people. Ghana is a unique country in West Africa. It’s the most democratic country where people enjoy human rights and press enjoys complete freedom to operate. Ghana is also a place that’s not been affected by internal strife, much visible in West Africa. All this makes Ghana a perfect choice for volunteer overseas. IFRE has been successfully operating volunteer programs in Ghana for over 5 years and with the help of our volunteers we’ve succeeded in uplifting lives of many disadvantaged people. Be part of this wonderful effort by volunteering in Ghana.
