EIL UK

Travel Abroad

For over 75 years EIL has been organising volunteering and cultural exchange programmes for individuals and groups. Whether you want to make a difference in the lives of others and your own by volunteering in another country, or if you want to really get inside another language and culture by living and studying there, or perhaps you want to teach English as a foreign language, be it to a family in another country who are trying to improve their opportunities or to help support an NGO, a small business, or help a teacher give their students the golden opportunity of access to someone who speaks English as their first language, EIL UK has a programme for you.

We are part of an international federation of partner organisations which since 1937 has been breaking down barriers to mutual understanding by bringing together people from different cultures.

Our range of programmes involves people of all ages from a variety of different communities. We have a track record of working with young people, including those who are disadvantaged, both nationally and internationally. We are currently expanding this area of work and in particular programmes which improve community cohesion and integration.

Our programmes include:

* Volunteer Abroad
* Study Abroad
* Conversation Corps
* Conversation Partner
* IHP: International
* IHP: UK
* Groups

Volunteer Abroad

Volunteer abroad and put your experience and skills into a very special community service project.

If you're over 18 years old and you are exploring international volunteer service, considering a gap year abroad or looking for a break from your job, reach out to others as an EIL Volunteer.

Your community service project could be working with rural development, volunteering in a health clinic, working with children, teaching English, an environmental project - the volunteer opportunities are endless!

Most programmes include language training, where appropriate, and homestays with families - the best way to meet people and learn about local culture. EIL's partner will place you with a community service project where your work will make a lasting contribution. They can have different durations according to their country of destination.

Your training, dedication and experience can make a big difference in the world. An exciting life-enhancing opportunity awaits you with the Volunteers for International Partnership (VIP) programme.

On these pages you can explore the options available to you based on your experience, skills, and interests. Then you can make the choice to volunteer abroad; a choice that will give you back years of satisfaction and a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
