Browse our opportunities that let you volunteer abroad over the summer.
There are two ways to volunteer abroad for the summer:

University of Bristol partner summer abroad volunteer programmes
We work with carefully selected organisations that offer opportunities to contribute to sustainable projects, including youth projects in Fiji, conservation work in Honduras, and playground building projects in Uganda.
You will be supported by the Bristol Abroad team through the process of applying. You will attend the volunteer programme with other students from Bristol.
For all University of Bristol partner programmes, there is funding available to help with the cost. You will be able to apply for the available funding as part of your overall application.
