Volunteer programs and work exchange opportunities that describe themselves as LGBTQ+ friendly.

This tag collects listings that mention inclusive values, safer spaces, or specific support for LGBTQ+ travellers and volunteers. Scroll down to see current opportunities.

LGBTQ+ in brief

LGBTQ+ is an umbrella term that can include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer people and others. People use different words to describe themselves, and no label is compulsory. Respect and consent matter more than terminology.

If you want a fuller introduction to gender, sexuality and language, you can read our guide here: Gender equality and sexuality in volunteer projects.

Before you apply

Laws and social attitudes vary a lot by country and region. Ask hosts clear questions about accommodation, privacy, house rules, local context, and what support looks like on the ground. If you are unsure about a destination, check reliable travel safety resources before committing.
