In this section you can find free volunteering opportunities abroad.

What does free mean?

It means that the hosts and the organisations featured on this page do not charge any participation fees for the volunteering experience. They offer free food and accommodation, usually in exchange for 4 to 5 hours of voluntary help per day, similar to the WWOOF philosophy.

However, keep in mind that the hosts will not pay for your travel costs (flight, train, etc.), and they cannot cover your visa or provide invitation letters.

Also, no monthly stipend is offered*.

If you are looking for projects that include a monthly stipend or pocket money, you can explore these sections:
