V2T, Volunt2Thai - Volunteer to Thailand is an Austrian association and has its headquarters in Vienna (Volunt2Thai Austria – Association for the promotion of volunteer work).
Volunt2Thai Community and Social Development Project started in 2014 in the northeastern region of Thailand (Isan) with the aims of helping farmers and their families and to encourage the development of the region with particular emphasis on guiding the children of the villages to a better future. V2T has since grown and with the constant expansion of its network, is on it's way to become a Cultural Center and platform for all kinds of projects.
Volunt2Thai works with a wide range of partners in all of its fields of competence for the development of different projects taking place at our project sites. In contrast to the project Volunt2Thai which concentrates its efforts on the development of the community with particular focus on the children, the association's aim is to promote and support the volunteer engagement of youths and adults and in so doing, contribute to the development of international cooperation and understanding.
The association can provide the tools and challenges in a variety of spheres to aid and support students, apprenticeships and national and adult education programmes, allowing the potential of volunteer workers to be realised. Additionally, we hope to contribute to science and research in these areas.
Among our partners is the state aided organization "Weltwegweiser" (“Jugend eine Welt"), supported by the Austrian Development Agency (Agentur der Österreichischen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit). Through our cooperation with "Worldwide Volunteers”, German volunteers can receive sponsorship from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), allowing them to work with us for a so called "social year" (Entwicklungspolitischer Freiwilligendienst weltwärts).
Additionally students can apply for a scholarship in combination with internship at Volunt2Thai. Volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life are welcome! You will live in a Volunteer Village built by us for you and you will be involved in the daily life of the six villages in our surroundings. As a volunteer you will have the unique opportunity of seeing village life at first hand and experience a culture that has little changed over time. As a thank you, you are able give something meaningful back to the community through teaching the children and adults English.
So far, we have received volunteers from the following countries: USA, France, Vietnam, Germany, Scotland, Australia, Israel, Switzerland, England, Italy, Austria, Hong Kong, China, Netherlands, Brazil, Norway, Mexico, Faroe Islands, Pakistan, India, Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal, Latvia, South Africa, Brazil, Singapore, Argentina, Canada, Malta and New Caledonia, with new countries frequently being added to the list.

All applicants pass through a screening process.
Age: Volunteers must be minimum 18 years of age at the beginning of the program and serious about working. While it is possible to have lots of fun here, this is not a ‘vacation’.
Clean Record: Thai authorities require a clean criminal record, but exceptions can be made after the interview process. As an organization we are obliged to forward a copy of your criminal record to the Thai authorities in Udon Thani. The volunteers therefore need to acquire this information by the relevant authorities in their homeland.
Visa: Volunteers must have adequate travel insurance and a valid Thai Visa. Visa rules sometimes change. We will gladly offer you our support if needed.
Learning: Volunteers get the opportunity to take part in interesting new experiences and new knowledge is acquired through cooperation and collaboration with the villagers. Volunteers get a practical introduction to everyday farm life and help in the ongoing projects. They will learn and practice traditional crafts, gain knowledge about nature, culture, and will get an introduction to the Thai language.
Cycling: We have Tuk Tuck's and bicycles the volunteers can use, free of charge.
