Volunteer with Animals

Volunteer with animals on your gap year is a great thing to do in, especially if you want to work with animals in the future.

There are hundreds of opportunities to volunteer with animals, many you won't have thought of before. Imagine rehabilitating orangutans in Borneo, darting lions from a helicopter in South Africa or taking care of tigers in Thailand.

Animal volunteering is a real 'hands-on' experience. You might well be dealing with some of the world's most endangered species on a daily basis, helping to save them from extinction.

Whatever your skills and however much time you have to offer, there are plenty of animal volunteering opportunities for you.
