Volunteering at the Duang Prateep Foundation

The Duang Prateep Foundation works with numerous part time volunteers from the local communities. There are also a few long term foreign volunteers assisting with English and Japanese language contacts - correspondence, report and proposal writing, public relations writing, talking to foreign visitors and the like.

The foundation occasionally welcomes other foreign volunteers for short-term engagements - usually for at least three months. Please be aware that the foundation appreciates the offers of voluntary assistance, but in many cases offers of help are declined as the foundation cannot handle large numbers of foreign volunteers.

If you would like to apply to be a foreign volunteer, please click here for details about what information the Duang Prateep Foundation requires from you.

All applications are considered, but due to the numerous applications received by the Duang Prateep Foundation, we cannot promise to reply to all rejected applications.

Volunteers should not anticipate receiving any financial compensation for their work at the Duang Prateep Foundation. It is possible that accommodation might be provided and lunch is provided every working day. If volunteering at the New Life Projects at Kanchanaburi and Chumphon, full board is provided.
