Specialist Skills: If you have a budding interest or specialist skill that is not listed above then please do not hesitate to Contact Us directly to see if there are further opportunities. In the past we have helped place marketeers, business consultants, grant writers and web designers to help various causes in Nepal.
Multiple placements in one trip: At the request of volunteers we can also try and combine multiple placements into one trip. You may want to volunteer in a monastery and also in a health clinic, or have an experience in both rural and urban Nepal. With enough warning in advance this is easily achieved for longer placements. Just make it clear when you Apply.
Are there also group placements?
VSN also offers group volunteering programs. If you are interested in coming to Nepal with your school, university, family or group of friends then please visit our Group Volunteering Page for more details of what we can offer.
Where are the placements?
The location of placements range from very remote mountain side villages, to small jungle settlements. From the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu to the relaxed lakeside living of Pokhara. If you are not sure what you would like to do, but you do know where, then take a look at our Locations Page for inspiration.
How do VSN choose projects for their volunteer program in Nepal?
Collectively, the VSN staff have over 40 years work experience with both international and Nepali NGOs. As experts in our field we always look to serve projects with the most need for international aid, be it through manpower or financial support. When organisations approach us for support we spend up to 2 months observing them before deciding to support them or not. We do this to ensure your skills and money go to exactly the right hands.
