How can I volunteer overseas?

We do not send volunteers overseas. In common with many other major overseas charities, projects that Oxfam supports are actually managed by development agencies local to the country or region in need. These agencies mostly find the workers they need among the local population.

However, for further information you may want to try the World Service Enquiry website or search the internet for other voluntary organisations.

I need a visa to volunteer in the United Kingdom – can Oxfam support my Visa?

Oxfam is not able to support individuals who need visas to come to the UK to volunteer. Oxfam cannot support volunteer visas, as we do not have the correct licence to do so.
