If you have special physical, emotional, or mental health needs, you will need to consult with your doctor to learn if your needs can be met while living abroad. We’d be very happy to provide information that you might need to share with your doctor to help both of you make the best decision when it comes to volunteering with us. It is very important to us that all of our volunteers have an equal opportunity to have a great experience!

There may be individual circumstances where we believe that living abroad may not be the best situation for you and in those cases, ILP will invite you to either postpone your trip to a later date when things have changed or possibly not participate in our program (even if you have consent from your doctor). Over the years we have gained experience working with thousands of volunteers with unique health needs and want to do what we can to help set you up for success, whether that means living abroad or not.
