Volunteering abroad

NAS94025

Hi everyone.

I've been looking into volunteering abroad for a little while now, it's something that I would love to do. I've lived so much of my life in anxiety and fear, and I finally just want to LIVE it.

Does anyone know of any volunteering abroad opportunities for neurodivergent people? I've looked into various companies, but I'm worried that the change and social interactions will just be too difficult, so I'd like to work with people who understand. I've tried searching for organisations like this but I can't seem to find any. Any advice?

    I just wanted to update my post in case anyone is interested in volunteering as a neurodiverse person. I have seen I believe on GVI mentions of 24/7 mental health support by professionals, which would help me massively. I've also found that Oceans2Earth has a section on special needs volunteers who may have a disability. They encourage volunteers who have a special need or disability to reach out to discuss their needs and whether they will be capable of the project. They are I think the only organisation I've seen which recognise the value disabled people have on volunteering. Its really nice to see.
