Volunteer Safety

At Starfish, our volunteer’s safety is our top priority.  Starfish provides an In-country Coordinator to look after all of our volunteers. Our In-country Coordinator offers 24-hour support and is always on hand with advice and the all-important local knowledge to ensure our volunteers make the most of their experience.

In addition, all of Ventures are certified by one of our Venture Managers and our In Country Coordinator makes regular visits. All volunteer accommodation (which is checked by our In-country Coordinator) is arranged in advance, as are domestic stop-overs (if required), transfers and domestic travel to the Venture destination.

We like to think we’ve thought of everything.  We want our volunteers to have a safe, hassle-free time, so they concentrate on their project and get the most from their experience. In addition, for those volunteers intending to explore Thailand during or after their stay, we suggest you bring your mobile phone and register with safetytext.com. This is a fantastic free service that allows you to inform loved ones back home where you’ll be and who with during your travels.

Care

Volunteer Internship Programs
Our volunteers assist in child care
clinics, helping with daily routines
and caring for unwanted, orphaned
or needy children. We also welcome
medical and nursing students and
professionals to work in healthcare settings. Our clinical placements are ideal for elective work placements or volunteer internship too.

Develop

Volunteer Programs Thailand
Starfish Ventures has helped build
and develop schools and homes in
poor areas with the help of
volunteers. We need your help to
continue this work and make a
visible difference to the community, school or family. Whether or not you have building or DIY experience, you’ll have the time of your life and make a positive contribution to the lives of others.

Teach

Volunteer Teaching Programs
Learning English is essential for
Thai children, a competence in both
written and spoken English opens
so many more doors later in life.
As a volunteer teacher, you’ll be
equipping these young people of the future with the skills they need to be successful. We also run teach and travel ventures specifically for qualified teachers over the summer holidays.
