TEFL International Inc.'s students have wonderful opportunities to volunteer in Thailand's Elephant Nature Park. The Elephant Nature Park has openings for volunteers to work with rescue elephants (rescued from street begging, working as entertainers, abuse, etc.), to assist with conservation projects, to learn about herbal medicines, to get close to nature, to share elephant secrets and/or to help save endangered species.

Volunteer jobs are varied, from bathing elephants to basic health care. Traveling around the country in a variety of modes, from 4 wheel truck to bamboo raft volunteers will experience local and tribal lifestyles, culture and hospitality.
