Why not give something back on your next trip? We've got a great range of volunteer projects all around the world.
Why pay to volunteer?
Some people manage to find their own volunteer placements independently, but this can take ages to get organised and if you’ve read the media stories, it’s not always safe. As a result, not all travellers have that great lifetime experience they’d hope for….
We know it seems like a strange concept at first to have to pay to volunteer, so here’s some reasons why a placement fee offers you good value for money:
- Access to off-the-beaten track projects and communities
- You spend a lot less time organising your trip
- Your accommodation (and often food) is included
- Guaranteed project that helps local people
- In-country co-ordinator for support
- More satisfying ‘grass-roots’ cultural experience
- Crisis management service if things go wrong
- An economical way to travel – try finding a package tour that offers you as much!
