Volunteer Opportunities in Laos with a non- profit

Volunteer in Laos, teach and village work in Laos

Affordable volunteering in Laos with a nonprofit, not agency. Our mission is to help underprivileged people in Laos. Volunteering with OpenmindProjects takes you to the heart of Indochina, Laos, between Thailand and Vietnam.

 

Volunteer in  Laos, in villages. Help girls, boys and their rice farmer parents.  Many children leave school with little education and few opportunities.

Before Covid some of them came to our Training Center in Thailand as trainees to improved their skills for  future job opportunities!

Volunteers to help children learn English and IT skills, important skills for their future!  Help their parents too, to learn English, so they can host and guide tourists in their mountains.  Help them to use IT and internet to promote local ecotourism and earn an extra income.  Village families welcome families and children, couples and singles!

Some volunteers may be able to help an NGO in Vientiane.

When you volunteer in  Laos, you will have time to visit amazing places, like Luang Prabang, the beautiful ancient capital, and the Four Thousand Islands in the South.

Volunteer and teach in Laos.

Volunteers in Laos practice simple English with village children and their parents.  Volunteers who bring a laptop can combine IT and Internet training with English!

You do not need to be a teacher. We practice fun Learning by Doing, games and sports.  You can read about it in our Volunteer Handbook and on our videos before you start!

Volunteer in Thailand teaching village girls

Lao children have improved their skills with OpenmindProjects over the years

Our volunteers have helped many Lao girls and boys improve their skills in their villages and also at our former Training Center in Thailand!

Teenagers from Laos came to OpenmindProjects’ week long Learning Camps in Thailand.  Some stayed on as long-term trainees before Covid.

Now after Covid we want to restart our support to Lao youth with volunteer help.

Improve their English, IT and other life skills.  Let them learn together with us and you, our overseas volunteers.  They can go on to study, qualify for better jobs or return to help friends back home!

Joiy came from a Lao mountain village.  He did not speak any English and had never touched a computer when he came as a trainee. He learned to train international volunteers and then landed a job at a leading hotel in Vientiane, the capitol of Laos. 

Khem came to OpenmindProjects as a teenage camper, stayed on as a trainee, made great videos for us and is now a successful video entrepreneur in Laos!
