Meet our colleagues in Thailand
In Thailand, we have a uVolunteer representative staff that works to provide a fulfilling and safe volunteer abroad experience. The staff members in Thailand are not only a part of the uVolunteer team, but also natives that can offer advice only known by locals. Like all of our programs, each volunteer will have 24-hour connection with uVolunteer in-country staff.
