Opportunities published on Voluntouring.org may involve animal care, environmental projects, construction, community activities or other forms of volunteering and exchange. Some programmes may be independent exchanges, while others can be organised volunteer trips with participation fees or structured itineraries.
Because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, entry and immigration requirements are connected to the United States. Check the requirements that apply to your nationality and to the specific activities you plan to undertake rather than assuming that tourist entry automatically covers volunteering or work exchange.
