Submit your opportunity to Voluntouring.org

Host publication form

Thank you for your interest in sharing your project with Voluntouring.org.
This form helps us understand your opportunity and, if it is a good fit, prepare a clear listing for our
volunteer opportunities database.

Voluntouring.org is an independent directory. We do not organize placements, visas, travel, contracts or insurance.
Hosts and volunteers connect directly, and Voluntouring.org is not a party to agreements or arrangements made between them.

Before you submit

Please be clear and honest about the help requested, weekly hours, accommodation, meals, days off, costs, location, safety and how volunteers should apply.
Clear information helps us review your opportunity faster and prepare a better listing.

Safety, children and vulnerable people

We do not publish opportunities in orphanages or residential care centres.
If your project involves children, minors, elderly people, disabled people, patients, refugees or other vulnerable people,
volunteers must be properly supervised, must not replace trained staff, and must not have unsupervised responsibility.

Opportunities involving children or vulnerable people may require extra clarification before publication.

Note: These screening standards have been strengthened from January 2026.
Some older listings may still be visible while we review and update our database.

Fees, costs and weekly hours

Please disclose any fee, donation, deposit, membership, contribution or extra cost that volunteers may be asked to pay, even if it is optional.
Please include the amount and currency, whether the payment is required or optional, the duration covered, what is included, what is not included when relevant, and any additional mandatory charges.
Requests over 30 hours per week, unclear costs or fee-based programs may require additional review and are not always suitable for Voluntouring.org.

Opportunities that require volunteers to pay a participation fee, course or training fee, retreat fee, membership fee or similar mandatory charge are treated as fee-based programs.
Cost-recovery projects and other low-cost or non-standard arrangements may also fall outside our standard free publishing model.

If we decide that an opportunity is suitable for Voluntouring.org, a one-time editorial publication contribution may apply according to the type and cost of the program.
Our current categories and standard contribution guidelines are explained in the FAQ for hosts.

Submitting this form is free and does not create any payment obligation.
If a publication contribution applies, we will confirm the applicable amount before proceeding.
The opportunity will not be published under the paid publication model unless the host or organization has been informed of the contribution and has agreed to proceed.

The publication contribution paid to Voluntouring.org is separate from any participation fee, accommodation cost, meal cost or other charge paid by volunteers to the host or to third parties.
It is not a commission on volunteer bookings or placements, and Voluntouring.org does not receive a percentage of the program price.

Please also keep in mind that visitors to Voluntouring.org can compare many different opportunities, including free work exchanges and lower-cost programs, some of which provide accommodation and/or meals.
The overall cost of participating and what is included may therefore influence the level of interest a listing receives.

The publication contribution covers the review, preparation and publication of the listing.
It does not purchase a positive assessment, endorsement, preferential treatment or guaranteed prominence.
It also does not guarantee volunteer applications, enquiries, placements, website traffic or any specific result.
Advertising, sponsored placement and social media promotion are separate from normal listing publication and are not automatically included in a publication contribution.

Photos

After submitting the form, you can send 3 to 8 photos of your project, accommodation, surroundings, team or activities by email to voluntouring.freelist@gmail.com.
Please only send photos you have permission to share publicly.

If you explicitly give us permission in the form to use images from your organization or project, we may also select suitable photos from your official website or official social media pages for the listing.
If Voluntouring.org independently decides to share the opportunity through its social channels, these images may also be used in related editorial social posts.
Giving permission to use photos does not guarantee social media promotion.
