Volunteer or intern abroad insurances

• Working as a volunteer or intern offers a great learning experience. Meet new people and make a difference! You will develop your knowledge and skills, as well as that of others. You will gain international skills, contribute to a better world and gain useful experience for on your resume.
• However, just like at home there is always a chance that something goes wrong during your time abroad. Such as sickness, accidents, stolen luggage and of course things that can go wrong back home that you may need to return for. 
• If you have the right travel insurance it will help you financially and offer help when you need it. On this page you can read about how you can make sure you’re properly insured before, during and after your work as a volunteer.

Why insure specifically as a volunteer or intern abroad?

• Volunteer projects, foundations, NGOs and local companies typically don’t have suitable insurance. Even if they do, it might only be valid during your time at work and not during your daytrips.
• Regular travel insurances often don’t cover volunteering abroad or your work as an intern.
• Volunteerwork and internships often involves doing work for which you are not trained or have little experience doing. This might result in a higher chance for accidents.
