Doha - Post Report Question and Answers

What volunteer opportunities are available locally?

ASD welcomes volunteers for the PTA and Booster Club, though I feel it can be hard to break into. Some people volunteer on the base but again it is not widely marketed and it comes down to who you know. QAWS (pet rescue) also looks for volunteers as well and sometimes you'll see an ad in the embassy paper. - Oct 2023

I'm sure you could volunteer at a school or something, but this isn't sub-Saharan Africa. I'd wager to guess you'll have a hard time finding many fulfilling volunteer opportunities in Qatar. - May 2017


Not much. There's no homelessness here, and only poverty as inflicted by employers on the migrant workers. The orphanage doesn't let outsiders in. I guess you could clean up trash on the beaches or something... but the government can also hire people to do that. - Feb 2015
