How to use this page
Open the opportunity that interests you and read the complete announcement. Check the publication date and confirm the activities, weekly hours, days off, accommodation, meals, local transport, minimum stay and any fees, deposits, salary, pocket money or other financial arrangements directly with the host.
Some opportunities include accommodation or meals without a mandatory participant fee, while others may request a contribution or programme fee. If payment is required, ask for the exact amount, what it covers and the applicable cancellation and refund conditions before making a commitment.
Visas and work exchanges
Canada, Mexico and the United States have different immigration and employment rules. Unpaid activities can still be treated as work depending on the type of duties, host and circumstances.
Do not assume that tourist or visitor status automatically permits every form of volunteering, hospitality exchange, farm work or paid employment. Check the requirements for your destination, nationality and planned activities through the relevant official immigration authorities before travelling.
For additional guidance, read Voluntouring’s volunteer and work exchange visa guide and safety and legality information.
