BECOME A VOLUNTEER

The Rain Tree Foundation - become a volunteer

We are looking for volunteers all year around. As a volunteer you will most likely be teaching English in a remote location in the mountains of Northern Thailand. If you have special skills or knowledge, for example mechanical skills, farming, marketing (…), please let us know. We will try to find the most suitable project for you.

Volunteering is an enriching and rewarding experience but it can also mean being exposed to challenging and strenuous situations. We are committed to ensuring your volunteer experience with us is a positive one. We only place volunteers in genuine projects with wholehearted people.

The minimum stay should be three months but we prefer a one year commitment as it is best for the project and your experience in general. 

Shorter placements will be considered but you will need time to adapt to the culture and environment, the staff, and the children in the schools, which takes some time.

Shorter placements will be considered but you will need time to adapt to the culture and environment, the staff, and the children in the schools, which takes some time. We find that shorter durations of stay end rather quickly after the initial introduction period and this approach doesn’t really help the kids and limits the impact in the project.

Please bear in mind that volunteering is unpaid work. We thoroughly appreciate your time, however, we still have to charge a fee as your stay causes us expenses that we cannot accommodate ourselves. We do not intend on making any financial profit with your volunteer fee.
