STEP Beyond Borders (programs@stepbeyondborders.org) 

Volunteering with special needs individuals can be a rewarding and impactful experience. There are various ways you can get involved in special needs volunteer work, depending on your interests, skills, and the needs of the community. Here are some steps to consider if you're interested in volunteering with STEP Beyond Borders:

Volunteer Abroad can be a life changing experience for you and of course for the beneficiaries you are planning to work for . You can join volunteer abroad projects with STEP Beyond Borders for a meaningful purpose and real work experience by taking following points into consideration:

Special Education Schools: Think about your skills, interests, and what you're comfortable with. You can assist teachers in the classroom, provide one-on-one support to students, or help with administrative tasks. Choose a role that aligns with your abilities and passions.

Attend an Orientation or Information Session: STEP Beyond Borders offer orientation sessions for volunteers to give them brief about the projects and real need. Attend one to learn more about the organization's mission, policies, and the types of volunteer opportunities available for creating impact

Duration of Volunteering: Decide how long you can commit to volunteering. Opportunities can range from short-term projects lasting a few weeks to long-term commitments of several months or more. STEP Beyond Borders is flexible as per your wish and you can also talk to us if you have any questions related to your volunteering abroad plans. 

Recreational Programs: Special needs individuals often participate in recreational programs, such as sports, arts, or music. You can volunteer as a coach, mentor, or assistant in these programs to help participants develop new skills and enjoy leisure activities. Best part is that you will get assistance from the project coordinators provided by STEP Beyond Borders for translation and other support

Art and Music Therapy: If you have artistic or musical talents, you can volunteer with organizations that offer art and music therapy for special needs individuals. These activities can be therapeutic and enjoyable for participants.

Be Flexible and Adaptable: The needs of benefitiaies can change, so be prepared to adapt to different situations. Some days may involve more emotional support, while others may require physical assistance. Consider how you can contribute to community engagement and efforts by discussing with the STEP Beyond Borders team

Accommodation and Logistics: STEP Beyond Borders will help you by providing Airport Pickup and Drop, accommodation, all time meals, project assistance, translation support, project resource materials, etc.

Fundraising: If you can't physically volunteer but still want to support special needs project, consider fundraising and helping them. You can raise funds for beneficiaries and spread awareness about the project and needs. Email us at programs@stepbeyondborders.org

Evaluate Your Experience: Periodically assess your experience and the impact you're making. Are you achieving your goals as a volunteer? Are there any changes or adjustments you'd like to make to your volunteer role?

Remember that volunteering is about making a positive impact, so choose opportunities that align with your interests and abilities while respecting the preferences and needs of individuals with special needs. If you are looking for an internship opportunity with special needs, be ready for a long time commitment
