Food, accommodation and pocket money
Many opportunities listed on Voluntouring.org are based on a simple exchange: volunteers offer help and receive food and accommodation. In some cases, there may also be pocket money or a formal funded programme.
For opportunities with pocket money or structured European programmes, you can explore these pages:
Important note about visas and travel costs
If you are travelling from outside Europe, make sure you understand the visa rules of the country you want to visit and that you can cover your own travel costs.
Volunteering abroad should not be seen as a way to move to another country for free. Hosts, families, organisations and local communities usually cannot provide invitation letters, visa support or travel reimbursement.
Please check the official embassy or consulate website of the country you want to visit before applying for a project. Voluntouring.org does not organise placements directly and does not provide visa support or invitation letters.

You can also browse other areas of Voluntouring.org if you are looking for a different kind of exchange, such as creative projects, farms, eco-communities or hospitality programmes.
