How to use this page
Open the listing that interests you and check its publication or latest update date. Some older opportunities may still be available, so contact the host directly to confirm. Look for the Contact details section at the end of the listing, where you may find an official website, email address, telephone number, social media page or application form.
Not every host can answer every message. If you do not receive a response, consider another listing and read the Voluntouring FAQ.
Accommodation, meals and contributions
Some opportunities provide food and accommodation at no cost in exchange for voluntary help. Others may provide accommodation only, offer pocket money or request a daily or monthly contribution towards food and project expenses. A limited number of listings may describe paid seasonal work.
Before travelling, confirm the activities, expected hours, days off, minimum stay, accommodation, meals, requested payments and cancellation conditions directly with the host. Do not assume that flights, local transport, insurance or personal expenses are included unless the listing clearly says so.
Visas, local rules and insurance
Entry and immigration requirements depend on your nationality, destination, length of stay and proposed activities. Even unpaid help may be treated as work under local rules. Check the latest requirements with the relevant immigration authorities, embassy or consulate before making travel arrangements.
Voluntouring and the hosts listed on the website do not arrange visas, provide immigration sponsorship, guarantee entry or cover personal travel costs. Read the general guidance about visas for volunteering abroad and safety and legality.
Travel insurance may be required by a host, immigration authority or activity provider. If you purchase a policy, check that it covers your destination, the activities you intend to undertake and the complete duration of your stay.
Voluntouring is not a travel agency, employer, recruitment service or placement organisation. It does not manage applications, payments, visas, insurance or travel arrangements. Volunteers and hosts communicate directly.
