Anthropology 👣
Explore anthropology volunteer opportunities, internships and community projects involving cultural research, fieldwork, documentation and other activities where anthropological knowledge or interests are directly relevant.
Anthropology is the study of humans across different cultures, societies, histories and environments. Opportunities in this archive may relate to social or cultural anthropology, archaeology, languages, community research or interdisciplinary projects.
Anthropology and volunteer projects
Some opportunities may be designed specifically for anthropology students, graduates or researchers, while others involve community projects where relevant skills can be useful. Read each listing carefully to understand whether anthropology is an actual part of the role or simply a related area of interest.
Research, interviews, photography and documentation involving communities should respect informed consent, privacy and local priorities. Volunteers should not treat people or communities primarily as subjects of observation or opportunities for cultural study.
