Global Insurance for Volunteer Groups and Non-Profit Organizations
Could there be a more rewarding experience than a volunteer project, mission trip, or service program abroad? As is often the case, there are risks that come with such rewarding activities. While your group is off serving the international community (while personally benefitting from an unforgettable experience in another part of the world), you must protect both the volunteer team and program leaders before they leave. There are specific non-profit group health insurance programs for volunteer groups and non-profit agencies to cover all your needs.

Below, you will find why it is wise to have insurance while volunteering abroad and what to look for when purchasing volunteer insurance.
Why Do You Need Insurance While Volunteering Abroad?
Traveling abroad, especially for volunteer work, carries some risk.  Volunteer environments can be unpredictable and may have dangerous surroundings such as warfare or natural disasters. These surroundings may put you at a greater risk for injury, sickness, or disease. Local hospitals may not be suited to handle emergencies. It is possible that your regular insurance may not cover the geographical areas you will be volunteering in. For these reasons, and others outlined here: Why I need Travel Insurance, be sure to find an affordable group insurance plan for your program before your group leaves the country.

What Type of Insurance Covers your Non-Profit Group?
Volunteering and charitable work abroad can take many different forms. Depending on whether you’ll be helping out after a natural disaster, doing construction, or providing medical services, you could be at a higher risk for injury or illness. For this reason, it is important to have volunteer travel insurance covering unexpected injuries, sickness, and even evacuation from countries you visit. Additionally, you may want a coverage plan that includes 24-hour emergency assistance, sports activities, and loss of personal possessions. Contact our experienced insurance agents for a specific quote.

- Travel Medical Insurance
- Emergency Evacuation

Purchasing Non-Profit Group Insurance: What You Need to Know
While some overseas travel insurance plans can cover most of what you need while volunteering abroad, some companies do not provide everything.  You should review and compare different plans from various insurers to ensure your needs are met.

The team here at InternationalInsurance.com can get you several quotes from a variety of companies to ensure you have everything you need to make the best decision.
