Short term projects can last anywhere from 2 weeks in duration whilst medium and long term projects usually last between 1 and 6 months. For projects of up to 12 months in length, we ask that you initially apply for a six month period, with an option of extending if desired.

You can join projects in Europe, Asia, North America, Central America and Africa and get the opportunity to get to know a country and community in depth, and make a sustained, worthwhile contribution to a particular project.

More Information

You will usually be placed either individually or with other volunteers, although there may be some involvement with international volunteer groups during the course of the placement. These projects come from community-based initiatives. You’ll learn from living and working in a richly mixed, international group, as well as from the practical work itself.
 

Requirements

For this specific program you must be a British resident and aged 16+. If you live outside of the UK please browse more volunteering programs abroad which are open to other nationalities.
 

Application Cost

We have a set fee of £300, which is charged to every volunteer who wishes to join any of our overseas programmes. It is common to question why a fee is necessary if you are volunteering your efforts, however, costs will be incurred to offer you accommodation, food, in-country transport and support in both the country that you volunteer, and from our UK office. The truth is that the fee you pay only partially covers these costs, and the remainder is covered by us and our overseas partners.
