Volunteering opportunities in Europe – hospitality exchange and volunteer programs.


Volunteering opportunities and hospitality exchange in Europe

On this page you can explore different volunteering opportunities in Europe and find projects that offer free food and accommodation in exchange for a few hours of help per day. These experiences are usually run by families, farms, hostels, communities and small organisations that welcome volunteers who want to travel slowly, meet local people and learn new skills.

European territories – search by region

  • Northern Europe
  • Western Europe
  • Eastern Europe
  • Balkans

How to use this page

Click on any announcement that interests you and check the publication date, because some volunteering opportunities in Europe may already be expired. If the offer is still valid, scroll to the Contact details section at the end of the article. There you can find the free ways to get in touch with the host, such as website, email or application form. Write a short presentation,
explain why you want to volunteer and wait for the reply.

Most of the projects listed here are free, meaning that you receive free food and accommodation in exchange for your help. Some programs also offer pocket money or extra support. For this kind of experience, you can also visit: EVS | European Voluntary Service,
ESC | European Solidarity Corps and the pocket money opportunities page.

Visa and travel costs

If you come from outside Europe, make sure you can cover your visa and
travel costs. Volunteering projects cannot replace the official visa process and hosts are usually not able to provide invitation letters. Always check the official website of the embassy or consulate of the country you want to visit to understand which visa you need for volunteering and how to apply.
