Why Become a Speech Therapy Volunteer?

Other than making a difference in the community, volunteering may also allow  Master of Speech Pathology  students to gain  necessary clinical experience toward SLP certification . Whether you are in an undergraduate program or pursuing a master’s degree, if you want to become a certified SLP, you may benefit from firsthand experience in the field. 

According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA),  individuals who wish to practice as an SLP are required to earn a master’s degree  in communication sciences and disorders (CSD).  Admission to speech pathology school  may be competitive depending on the school you are applying to, and volunteering may give you an edge. 

Access to professionals in the field may open opportunities for letters or recommendation, which may be required for your admission into a speech pathology program, and firsthand experience may make your application standout. As a volunteer, you may also be able to form meaningful connections and open doors for  future SLP career opportunities.  

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) occupational outlook handbook  for speech language pathologists, licensure generally requires the completion of a master’s program, supervised clinical experience and passing a licensure exam.  As SLPs are required to obtain supervised clinical experience in order to begin their practice in the United States, volunteering in the field may provide an introduction into possible supervised practice experiences.

Do You Need to be an ASHA-Certified SLP to Volunteer?

Who can become a speech therapy volunteer? For SLP students and professionals, there are plenty of opportunities for volunteering, and you do not need to be an  ASHA-certified SLP  to get involved. 

If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, check with your program or advisor on your campus. They may partner with organizations and foundations in your area to provide you with a connection to get started. Or, you may find it easier to reach out to volunteer coordinators or organizations directly. They can help you figure out any requirements, such as if a background check is required, and provide you with relevant information.

You may find that positions may not require ASHA certification, but there are some advantages to being certified. Since  clinical experience is a requirement for certification , you may be qualified for more volunteer opportunities. Being a member and volunteering for ASHA may also provide additional benefits such as networking with fellow members, developing technical skills and additional opportunities for career advancement. 

Where Can You Volunteer as a Speech Pathologist?

There are a variety of settings SLPs may find volunteer work. Depending on where your interests lie, you may find professionals or communities that you form a connection with. Some examples of  volunteer work settings for SLPs  include:

• Early intervention, preschool, and K-12 schools 
• Colleges and universities
• Residential and nonresidential healthcare facilities
• Private practice
• Corporate settings
• Local, state and federal government agencies

Requirements for each  volunteer setting for SLPs may vary state-by-state  so you will need to research your preferred setting to find out if certification, background checks or prerequisite coursework is required.

When choosing where to volunteer as an SLP, you may want to consider what areas of speech language pathology interest you, what demographics you would like to work with in the future as well as what may look good on a resume or letter of recommendation. 

Other considerations when looking for speech pathology volunteer opportunities are things like your work schedule, free time and how much of a commitment you want to make to volunteering. If you are balancing school and other commitments with volunteering, your schedule may be something you want to take into consideration. Also, even if a volunteer schedule fits your needs, consider any training or onboarding activities you will have to complete. 

Find Your Perfect SLP Work Setting Through Volunteer Work

With so many options for SLPs, it can be hard to decide where you want to work. Gaining experience in a variety of  speech pathology work settings  may set you up for your career after graduation. If you are an SLP student who is not sure if they want to practice in schools, hospitals or open a private practice, firsthand experience may lead you to your preferred path.

Much like how there are different settings for volunteering, there are a variety of settings to work as a volunteer, and you should consider where your comfort is when you choose where to both work and gain experience.

Speech pathologists  work treating patients who have language and speech disorders and may work with, among others, the following:

• People who have experienced stroke
• Head trauma patients
• Patients suffering from degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s or ALS
• Patients with cancers of the mouth or throat
• Individuals with autism 
• Individuals with Down syndrome 
• Dementia patients

They can work in hospitals, schools and private practices, and there are pros and cons to all settings. Perhaps you don’t want to work with children, ruling out schools. Or maybe working with injured individuals isn’t where you want to spend most of your time. These are things you can learn and explore as you volunteer before committing to a full work schedule. 

What Volunteer Opportunities in Speech Language Pathology are Available?

SLP volunteers have many ways to get involved in different volunteer settings. Some opportunities may be available in-person locally or be offered online—and some  SLP volunteer opportunities are available even abroad . If you are interested in getting involved, below are some common organizations and ideas for finding SLP volunteer options. 

Speech Therapy Organizations to Research

• ASHA has many volunteer options.  ASHA encourages you to get involved in the association and make an impact in the community through volunteerism. They offer opportunities to based on interests, level of effort and time commitment
• Volunteer BaseCamp  offers a compiled list of opportunities and organizations that are in need of speech pathology volunteers. The majority of their placements are geared towards SLPs who have completed their master’s programs.
• National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA)  is a student organization for speech language pathology students. They may be able to help provide volunteer opportunities in your area. 
• American Academy of Private Practice in Speech Pathology and Audiology (AAPPSPA)  is an association just for private practice speech pathologists. If you are interested in learning how private practice works, you may consider looking here. 
• There are also speech language pathology organizations in different states, such as the  California Speech Language Hearing Association (CSHA)  or the  Pennsylvania Speech Language Hearing Association (PSHA)  so check your area for local organizations. ASHA has  ASHA State-by-State  to help you explore your state’s Speech and Hearing Associations and find local contacts
• You should also inquire with Community Resource Center on your campus for local or partnered opportunities

Speech Therapy Volunteer Programs Abroad

• Therapy Abroad  is a volunteer group travel program that provides opportunities for speech language pathology students. 
• Smiles for Speech  sends SLP teams to help train, collaborate with and support children living in disadvantaged communities. 
• Yellow House  is a community-based organisation in Western Kenya that supports local communities through education and clinical services. 
• Trinh Foundation  is a voluntary nonprofit organization that promotes speech therapy in Vietnam.
• Projects Abroad  this program compiles potential SLP volunteer ventures for you. Their site states that you can “intern” there, or go as a qualified SLP. 
• Alliance for Smiles  typically wants experienced speech pathologists with cleft palate experience.
• Speech Therapy Cambodia  both brings SLPs to help treat Cambodian patients and also helps educate and train Cambodian speech pathologists, meaning they need volunteers with a variety of experience levels. 
• International Stuttering Association  aims to help people overcome stuttering in the developing world. SLPs can volunteer with this organization to help fight this cause. 
• Children’s Services International  is a charitable organization associated with the Speech Pathology Group. They offer a number of SLP opportunities abroad including in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
• The site  Volunteer Forever  can also help speech pathology students find places to volunteer with a number of organizations in other countries. 

Other Ways to Help

If in-person volunteering is not feasible, some organizations and settings may offer opportunities to volunteer through telepractice through webcam.  ASHA offers online mentoring programs  where professional SLPs can volunteer their time to mentor aspiring speech therapists. This allows people who cannot travel to volunteer training and educating other speech language pathologists. If you find a local or distant setting or practice you’d like to volunteer with, be sure to enquire about any opportunities they may have online. 

You can also participate in online forums and help advise other SLP students. There are active communities on a number of networks of blogs as well as social media. 

Things to Consider Before Volunteering as a Speech Pathologist

Below are some suggestions, as provided by the  NSSLHA blog : 

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, but volunteer work is exactly that— voluntary and unpaid. For some students, an unpaid volunteer position is not feasible. If this is the case, consider a paid position in a similar setting to the volunteer opportunities so you may gain similar experience in that setting, even if it’s not in the SLP field. For example, if you are interested in working in schools or with children, gain experience by working in childcare or similar jobs. 

2. Schedule 

You should take into account the level of commitment needed for the volunteer position. If you have a heavy schedule and they need you four days a week, it may not be a great fit. You should also be cognizant of when volunteers are needed, such as a school only taking volunteers during their school year. 

3. Location

The location of the volunteer setting may be inconvenient. If you live on campus and the hospital you wish to volunteer with is across town, you’ll need to ensure you have reliable transportation. Or if the program is abroad, you will need to ensure you have all travel documents and secure airfare and lodging. Travel time for unpaid volunteer work may not be ideal, but with the advent of telepractice and online opportunities you may alleviate some of the inconvenience.

4. Requirements

You should reach out to your prospective volunteer organization to find out any requirements for volunteering. Certain settings may have requirements in order to volunteer such as fingerprint cards, student status or certification.

How Do I Start? 

Volunteers are always in high demand and opportunities are in arms reach! To start, check with the Community Resource Center on your campus. They partner with organizations and foundations in your area to provide you with a vast array of opportunities to explore. Volunteer coordinators can help you figure out an organization’s expectations, if a background check is required, and answer any questions or concerns you might have.

If you’re a distance learning student—that’s okay! Links to organization are usually listed on the Community Resource Center’s website.

What Should I Consider When Researching Volunteer Opportunities? 

Think about your schedule … and the schedule of the setting you’re hoping to volunteer in. For example, schools and hospitals may require you to complete a background check, attend orientations, or volunteer during specific time commitments. Or maybe it’s the end of the school year and SLPs are trying to wrap things up. The first time I registered to volunteer at a school, it was right before they started their end-of-year standardized testing and summer break was right around the corner. I had to wait for the new school year to really get involved. 

Ultimately, it’s important for you to not to bite off more than you can chew. Volunteering is meant to be a fun and fulfilling experience—not stressful. So, plan accordingly and don’t let setbacks stop you!

But, I Already Know What Setting I Want to Work In…

Before I started volunteering, I was dead set on working in the schools setting. I loved seeing kids’ progress each day—they soak up information like sponges! I was looking forward to working one-on-one with kids who need a bit of extra help.

But then, I shadowed a clinician at a rehabilitation center. It absolutely changed my perspective. It was incredible to observe and learn from geriatric patients who suffered from strokes that impaired their speech, language, and swallowing. I got to witness their wins after pushing through the lows, speak with them as they waited for treatment, and transported them back to their room post-treatment. Watching their progress each week and having this tiny role in their progress was truly inspiring.

Expanding your horizons forces you to escape your comfort zone and try something new. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself into an unfamiliar environment, but it can open your eyes to a passion you didn’t even know existed.

I’m So Busy … Is Volunteering Really Worth It?

Making connections with professionals during your undergrad years is imperative. They’ll be able to attest to your character and perhaps write you strong letters of recommendation in the future—like when you’re applying to grad schools. Professionals love to see your enthusiasm and they want to see you succeed!

Volunteer opportunities may also open other doors … like scholarships. The local hospital system I’ll be volunteering in offers scholarships for volunteers who may later provide service to their hospital. So not only will I be gaining volunteer experience and making professional connections, there’s also a potential opportunity to tackle grad school tuition costs!

The Many Benefits of Volunteering

At the end of the day, volunteering allows you to:

• Learn from professionals first-hand
• Gain real-life experience
• Open your mind to other settings and/or populations
• Expand your professional network
• Become an integral part of your community

The impact volunteering can make on you and others is undeniable. So, get out of your comfort zone and don’t be dead set on a particular setting before you’ve really had the opportunity to experience them all!

Where to Find the Best Speech-Language Pathology Volunteer Opportunities

• November 28, 2022

Are you one of the speech-language pathologists searching online for “SLP volunteer opportunities near me?” or “ speech-language pathology volunteer opportunities ?” This article is perfect for you!

Participating in speech-language pathology volunteer opportunities is a great way to gain experience in the field and give back to your community. There are several places to find great volunteer opportunities for students in speech-language pathology. One option is to reach out to local speech therapy clinics or schools that offer speech therapy services. Another great option is schools. They all have speech therapists on staff who could likely use volunteers to help in their speech therapy classrooms or with special events such as speech competitions or speech therapy-focused fundraisers. 

No matter where you choose to look for volunteering opportunities, remember to make sure it is a good fit for both parties before committing to an organization or project. Happy volunteering!

Where to look for SLP Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community and gain experience in the field of speech-language pathology. There are many different places where one can look for volunteer opportunities, including schools, hospitals, clinics, and community organizations. 

Here are five places to look for volunteer opportunities for SLP students.

• Schools : Many schools offer volunteer opportunities for speech-language pathology students and professionals. These opportunities can include working with students in the classroom, leading after-school programs, or providing therapy services to students with communication disorders.
• Pros: Volunteering in a school setting can be very rewarding as you will be helping children overcome their communication difficulties. In addition, it can provide you with valuable hands-on experience working with clients.
• Cons: Schools can be chaotic environments, and you may not always have the opportunity to work one-on-one with clients.
• Hospitals : Hospitals often have SLP volunteer opportunities. These opportunities can include working with patients who have difficulty communicating, providing education and support to families of patients, or leading therapy groups.
• Pros: Volunteering in a hospital setting can be very rewarding as you will be helping people who are going through a difficult time. In addition, it can provide you with valuable experience working in a medical setting.
• Cons: You may not have as much freedom in terms of what types of patients you see or what types of speech and language disorders you work with.
• Clinics : Many private speech-language pathology clinics offer volunteer opportunities. These opportunities can include working with clients in therapy, providing administrative support, or helping with marketing and outreach efforts.
• Pros: Volunteering in a clinical setting can provide you with valuable experience working with clients and observing different types of speech and language disorders. It can be a great way to network with speech-language pathologists in your community.
• Cons: Depending on the clinic’s policies, volunteers may not have access to clients’ full records or may not be able to participate in certain aspects of therapy sessions. This can limit the level of experience gained and prevent the development of important skills such as record-keeping and working with multiple professionals on a team.
• Community Organizations :  Many community organizations offer volunteer opportunities for speech-language pathology students and professionals. These organizations can include after-school programs, senior citizen centers, literacy programs, and disability organizations.
• Pros: Volunteering with community organizations can be very rewarding as you will be helping people of all ages overcome communication difficulties. In addition, it can provide you with valuable experience working with a wide variety of popu lat ions.
• Cons: Some community organizations may have limited resources, which can impact the quality of therapy services provided. In addition, you may not have as much freedom in terms of scheduling and may need to work around the organization’s existing programs.
• Therapy Abroad: Therapy Abroad is an organization that offers internship and SLP volunteer abroad opportunities for pathology students and professionals. These opportunities can include working in schools, hospitals, clinics, or community organizations in a variety of countries.
• Pros: Volunteering with Therapy Abroad can be a great way to gain international experience working with clients from different cultures. In addition, it can provide you with the opportunity to learn about new approaches to speech and language therapy.
• Cons: There may be a language barrier if you are not fluent in the local language. In addition, you may need to adjust to a new culture and climate, which can be challenging.

Looking for volunteer opportunities abroad?

In a competitive job market, it can be difficult for speech-language pathologists to stand out and set themselves apart from other applicants. However, speech-language pathology volunteer opportunities abroad provide an opportunity to gain valuable experience while also making a positive impact on the global community. Therapy Abroad offers a speech-language pathology internship abroad . And also offers a program that provides volunteers with the opportunity to work with children in need. By volunteering abroad, you’ll be able to make a difference in the lives of children while gaining valuable experience.

Here are the programs offered by Therapy Abroad:

• Pre-Occupational Therapy (OT) Program

• Pre-Physical Therapy (PT) College Prep Program
• Speech-Language Pathology & Augmentative/Alternative Communication (ACC) Program
• Sports, Exercise & Nutritional Science Program
• International Workshops & CEU Opportunities for SLPs

Connecting with diverse popu lat ions and learning new languages can broaden perspectives and enhance clinical skills, making you a more well-rounded SLP. Furthermore, volunteering abroad shows a commitment to service and cultural competency, both of which are highly valued in the industry. Whether it’s participating in a medical mission trip or joining a government-sponsored program, volunteering abroad is worth considering for any SLP looking for unique experiences to add to their resume.

Everything You Need to Know From a Global Volunteer

Shannon August 15, 2019 8 Comments

This post may contain Amazon affiliate ads at no cost to you. See my disclosures here for more information.

If you’re a long time reader or follow me on Instagram, you might know that I just recently returned from a global volunteer trip to Ghana.

I love travel and was thrilled to have the opportunity to combine this love with my love for speech-language pathology. I traveled with Smiles for Speech , a global volunteer organization and the trip visited several sites including an ex-refugee camp, an ABA school, a psychiatric hospital, an inclusive school, and a pop-up community outreach clinic. The trip focused primarily on working with children with cerebral palsy, autism, and other complex communication needs. You can read the trip description here .

Prior to our trip, there was only a few SLPs in the entire country. One of the universities just graduated a class of future SLPs, however they had limited classes that were taught by SLPs and no opportunities for supervision or therapy practice. During our trip, we were paired with 1-3 students that we helped mentor, observe, and teach during our time. We partnered directly with the local university to do this, which was an important part of our trip.

Who is a good fit for a global volunteer trip like this?

Trips like this are best for experienced and confident clinicians, especially those who have familiarity and comfort with international travel. This is because you’re working with extremely vulnerable populations, many of which who have complex disabilities. You might be the first SLP they’ve interacted with.

This means you need to make sure you can provide competent, effective, research-based and culturally appropriate recommendations and ideas.

Trips like this are probably not best for people in their CFY, SLP assistants, or people who don’t have a specialty area that is specific and appropriate to the trip you’re looking into. Trips like this should never be used as practice or a trial run for certain therapy skills.

Do you have any tips for looking into or choosing a volunteer organization or trip?

The most important thing when choosing an organization is to make sure you’ll be providing sustainable treatment and therapy. I’d recommend not investing in an organization that simply provides therapy and goes home. This isn’t the most effective use or your time or money and often contributes to the community seeing “outsiders” as the only ones who can help their child. Instead, focus on sustainable ideas like training local SLPS, schools, or families. Teach long-term things they can do to increase speech/language skills and functional communication skills. It helped me to think about my role as more of a coach than as an SLP providing direct therapy.

You should also focus on finding a trip that is specific to a clinical strength you possess. For example, on my trip, we visited centers that primarily specialized in students with autism or those with complex communication needs. This is my favorite area of practice and even then, I read a ton of research and textbooks prior to the trip to give my skills a refresh. I have a lot of comfort working with high needs children so I felt I could really contribute to this trip.

Next, consider the language spoken where you’re traveling. Make sure you can effectively communicate in that language. If you can’t, make sure that a qualified interpreter will be traveling with you. The national language of Ghana is English and English is widely spoken. We still had a translator to make sure everyone could fully understand us.

At the bottom of this post, I’ll include a couple of links to global volunteer organizations. Please note that I cannot speak fully to the experience they offer and cannot recommend anything. Please do your research prior to signing up for any!

What is the international trip really like?

The days are extremely long and busy. You’ll need to be comfortable being uncomfortable. I cannot say enough times that you’ll need to be somewhat comfortable and experienced with international travel. Things like time change, jet lag, and new foods can ruin the experience if you’re not prepared. You’ll have to be very flexible and culturally competent regarding the specific location you’re going to.

For a day by day summary of my trip, click here to read my trip summary and see more pictures from my time in Ghana .

What are some organizations that travel internationally with groups of SLPs?

Again, because of the complexity involved in matching qualified SLPs to specific trips and my lack of experience with organizations other than Smiles for Speech, I cannot make any recommendations but want to give you some ideas of international volunteer organizations to give you a place to start. There are MANY out there so do your research! You could also consider traveling and working directly with a local organization instead of going with a larger SLP group.

In Ghana, we worked with MultiKids Africa and Autism Compassion Africa, both organizations I can recommend that you could try to reach out to if you were interested in their work directly.

If you’re looking specifically for organizations where you could travel as part of a large group, check out: Smiles for Speech Therapy Missions Hope Speaks

What does a global volunteer trip like this cost?

The cost of your trip will likely vary significantly depending on location. (Ghana is much more expensive to travel to than a location like Jamaica, for example). Price also varies by length of time you plan to be there, and the organization you travel through.

For my trip, we paid a trip fee that covered all meals, transportation, lodging, flights, necessary vaccinations/medications, and travel insurance. The trip fee for the specific trip I went on was just under $2000. While there, I spent pretty freely on drinks, food, souvenirs, laundry, and other experiences. In total, I spent under $400 total for all additional, optional costs.

What can I do to prepare for an international volunteer trip like this?

Obviously you should be prepared for the international travel. Beyond that, I would encourage you to do a ton of research on local culture and on programs that have been successful in the country you’ll be traveling to.

For example, if you click here , here , or here , you can read some of the research I read about training and about children with disabilities in Ghana that I read prior to my trip. This research helped inform me on best practice for these types of trips.

I also read several critical takes on volunteerism abroad so that I could be truly informed on some of the missteps involving trips like this including white saviorism, unsustainable approaches, and culturally insensitive therapy. If you ever take a similar trip, I’d highly recommend researching these topics.

Hope that helps to give you more information on becoming a global volunteer as an SLP! It was truly a life changing experience that reminded me of the true impact SLPs have on children, families, and communities.

Again, if you want more information on my trip specifically including tons of pictures and a day by day summary, click here .

If you’ve traveled abroad as an SLP, PLEASE leave a comment below and share your experiences! It was incredibly hard to find information on these types of opportunities prior to my trip and I would love to know of more organizations doing these types of trips well.

Thanks for reading!

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I went to Malawi, Africa for 3 weeks this summer – there is only 1 SLP in the entire country.

Hi from Australia! I have been on two very rewarding volunteering trips before. My first one was with an organisation called Equal Health to India. It was great to be on the allied health team amongst a team of other medical, dental and optical professionals, delivering direct services. I wanted to try something different for my second volunteering trip and wanted to focus more on capacity building and went to Vietnam with Trinh Foundation Australia as a clinical educator. It was much more rewarding to upskill the speech pathology students there. Their speech therapy course is only a few years’ old too.

February 3, 2021 at 1:02 PM

Hello! I am an undergraduate student studying to become an SLP. I had never thought about traveling as a possibility within the field! I love how you talked about making sure the kind of services and volunteer work you are doing are sustainable. This means your work as a volunteer is so much more valuable, and you can help more people than just those you have the time to work with. Awesome blog post, I feel much more aware of the importance of volunteer work within the field!

Cafarella: What is your background and how did you decide to pursue the field of SLP? Gobeljic: In undergrad, I originally majored in Russian studies. I started that with the plan of going into teaching or interpreting Russian or foreign languages. As I was nearing the completion of my bachelor's degree, I started thinking that maybe I didn't want to go into interpretation or foreign language teaching, and I found the SLP profession. After doing some research, I realized this was a way that I could use the skills I have with foreign languages to be able to help others communicate in various ways. I fell in love with the SLP profession and decided that this is what I wanted to pursue a degree in and do for the rest of my life. Jaquez-Ly : I got my bachelor's degree in psychology and social sciences and I thought I was going to be a psychiatrist or in the field of psychology. The semester before I was about to graduate, I had a family emergency that needed my attention, so I couldn't continue my education. I was kind of forced into the workforce. I did a year and a half in human resources, customer service and recruiting jobs. After a year and a half, my family member was able to get back on their feet and didn't need me anymore. I was thinking of going back to school but was wondering if I still wanted to go back to school for psychology. Something in me changed; I still respect that profession but I wanted something else, something still having to do with therapy, just a little more hands-on. When I was doing my research, I came across SLP and thought it sounded very cool. After doing more research, I fell in love with it more and more and decided to just go for it and enroll in the Post-bacc program at Salus.  Cafarella: The great thing about our Post-bacc program is that we get students from such diverse undergraduate experiences. How has the Post-bacc program prepared you for a graduate SLP program? Gobeljic:   I just felt going into this that I knew so little. Being able to learn from professionals in the field, I feel like I'm prepared to enter graduate school and I won't be behind compared to my classmates who have those communication science disorders backgrounds. I feel like the education that we received here, especially with how the classes are structured, puts you into a similar schedule [as graduate school]. That's one of the reasons that I chose it other than an online program. I wanted to experience that first step into postgraduate rather than creating my schedule through online courses.  Cafarella: It's great to hear how the program has increased both of your confidence levels. That was one of our goals when we developed the program, we wanted it to parallel the structure of our graduate program, both in terms of the scheduling and the rigor of the courses, but also just with individual support. What has been your favorite part about the SLP Post-bacc program? Gobeljic: I love the connections that I've made with my cohort. I've loved watching all of us grow throughout the year and increasing our understanding and ability within the communication sciences disorders field. [It has been exciting] seeing all the different paths that we're going to go on now with regards to which graduate schools we’ll be attending. I also loved the observations at the Speech-Language Institute (SLI) , Salus University’s on-campus clinical facility. It gave me a look into what I would be doing once I started graduate school at Salus. It has also prepared me for what I will be experiencing once I start working in the clinic. I liked having in-person observations and getting to see the clinical educators and students. It has been a wonderful experience and I love all the people that I've met through it. Jaquez-Ly : Being able to have my cohort, the relationships we built together, and the support that we've created for each other [has been great]. If one person was struggling, we'd all try to help them as much as possible. It was amazing that Salus provided the observation opportunities for us, especially since I didn't have enough coming into the program. Being able to get those hours through SLI was very important for me. The observations were very fun, and I love that we were able to talk to students and the supervisors before or after observations. It was so nice to be able to just have that communication with them and ask them questions; they were very open to talking with us.  Cafarella: What do you hope to do in the future within the field of SLP? Gobeljic:  Right now I'm not entirely sure which sort of setting I want to go into, but I know that I want to work with helping refugee and immigrant populations get the therapy and the resources that they and their children need. Whether that be within the schools or possibly doing early intervention, I want to make sure that there aren't any children left behind because their parents weren't aware that these sorts of therapies existed or that they're being misunderstood because they don't speak English well. And maybe people assume that they have speech language disorder when in reality it's just a difference.

If you’re trying to figure out a way to combine travel and work, then this coukd be your starting off platform. Below, you will find an ever-evolving list of different organisations and programs that might help you to volunteer and work overseas for a short period. If you know of an organisation that is not currently listed, please comment on this post, and I will happily add to the list. The Facebook group called SLPs Going Abroad might be another online platform to search for and ask fellow SLPs about volunteer opportunities. PROGRAMS TO RESEARCH Therapy Abroad  is a group travel program that is mainly geared towards students. Many of their programs go for two weeks. Smiles for Speech send SLP teams to help train, collaborate with and support children living in disadvantaged communities. They also distribute therapy materials.  Yellow House   is a community-based organisation in Western Kenya.  Yellow House aims to promote the speech therapy profession in East Africa as well as support local communities through education and clinical services. Their website has a volunteer form to complete if you are interested in offering your services. Operation Smile is an organisation who enlist volunteers to go on medical missions around the world repairing cleft palates and cleft lips. The  Trinh Foundation   is a voluntary non-profit organisation with long-term objectives of promoting Speech Therapy in Vietnam. They aim to provide clinical skills, curriculum development, and financial support to develop the postgraduate Diploma course into a fulltime undergraduate Degree course in Ho Chi Minh City. Look on their website for opportunities. Volunteer BaseCamp list  placements that are in need of speech pathology volunteers. The majority of their placements appear to be suited to SLPs who have completed their studies. Projects Abroad   have made it easier to find out if there are any SLP ventures for you. Their site states that you can ‘intern’ there, or go as a qualified SLP. This program is self-funded by the volunteers, so save your money. The  Centre for the Rehabilitation for the Paralysed (CRP) in Bangladesh has many skilled allied health professionals volunteer at their centres. They categorise volunteers as short-term or long-term. The site has a lot of information on accommodation, visas, etc. and a list of guidelines. I wrote a really peronal blog post called the (hard) truths of volunteering as an SLP that you might like to read if you are considering a role overseas. My situation may not apply to you. *** I have not personally taken a part of any of these programs. The program that took me from Australia to Samoa on a one year assignment was called the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development Program . 12 Comments Thank you for this list, I will definitely keep this in mind for future reference. Therapy Abroad stands out for me since there are not many opportunities out there for undergraduate students interested in speech therapy. I’m already excited to start volunteering, I love the idea of combining speech pathology and travelling. Keep up the great posts! I also studied a year abroad and while living in the UK went to a new country every month, so have a think about and best luck! You are an angel for posting all these things. I just entered my first year of my masters program in the US and I have yet to find a good resource for working abroad or volunteering abroad. I have sorta just made mine up as I go. I have been on four different volunteer trips just from finding random things or building my own. Thank you so much! Isn’t random the best?! And four travels already, totally envious right now 🙂 I’d love to hear bits of wisdom or any other places that can be added to the list. Happy travels Hi Avery, It sounds like you’ve done some exciting things so far! I’m an SLP from Australia, and I was wondering if you knew of many volunteer opportunities currently available in the states (short term preferred)? It’s very tricky to find anything SLP specific, so I’m almost leaning towards doing something else (lie helping at a summer camp or something like that). Any ideas you could send my way would be amazing!! Please add Operation Smile to your list. They need SLP volunteers for their work with children with cleft lip and cleft palate. Just added! Thank you for telling me. It’s given me a chance to review these programs 🙂 hello,i am fresher graduate SLP and looking for a job .I am asking if there are any job opportunities as slp in East Africa ( Uganda,Kenya ,Tanzania ) Hi there, Did you try posting in that Facebook group? I only list what other people share 🙂 I hope there is something out there for you. I just wanted to say I really appreciate this blog post. I just applied to every single one of these. You can also add that EBS Healthcare has an immersion program as well. If you are an EBS employee you can apply to one of the trips. I did a 3-week trip with them to Costa Rica last year with 2 wonderful mentors, Fatima and Jose. I cannot even begin to explain how life changing it was. It was a rigorous interview and application process, but it needs to be in order to select appropriate candidates. Anyway, thanks again! I would love to know if you have found any other opportunities to add to this list?? Thanks for this information! I had some friends who did this too and it sounded amazing 🙂 I’m married with 2 teenagers! I wish I knew about these opportunities before I settled down. I look forward to trying one of these when my kids have moved out!!! Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
