about volunteering - why should you volunteer
Why Volunteer

Joining a Starfish Venture will give you the opportunity to live abroad and contribute your talents to help progress projects in Thailand.  You will change things for the better, improve the lives of individuals and conserve the environment.  Moreover, you will experience Thai culture and their way of life first hand.

Help Others
Joining on a Venture has enormous benefits for both you and the people you will be working with in Thailand. Whatever you choose to do, your volunteer work will be invaluable. Thailand is a rapidly developing country that welcomes foreign volunteers to help its people better their lives and safeguard their environment.

Discover Another Culture
Beyond the practical input you give to your chosen venture, you will enjoy the unique experience of living within Thailand, not as a tourist but as a valued member of the local community. Living in Thailand on a Starfish venture allows you to understand more about Thai language and culture, make many Thai friends and explore more of the country when your venture is completed.

Surprise Yourself
The benefits of joining a Starfish Venture cannot be overestimated. As well as enjoying the pleasure of helping others, your venture will help you become a more rounded person and gain a different perspective on your own life. You will learn a lot about yourself and be surprised at what you can achieve.

Change Your Life
Volunteering is a life-changing experience that will build your confidence and broaden your horizons. It gives you another way to look at how others live – and may give you the confidence and outlook to make changes in your own life. It is also something that can give extra depth to any CV.

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.
