Cleaning

Cleaning volunteer and tidying up duties. – To participate in abroad volunteer projects you don’t always have to have particular qualifications. Being able to clean and help the hosts with tidying up activities in the house/farm can be enough so that you can get free hospitality (food and accommodation) at the host place.

How does it work?

The announcements listed below offer volunteer opportunities to those volunteers that are happy to help a project with household help, cleaning, and keeping things nice & tidy.

Keep in mind that, in general, most hosts and/or organizations ask volunteers to help with cleaning duties as this is part of every hospitality exchange.

Also, “cleaning” volunteer tasks could include:
  • help clean the rooms of a house /apartment…
  • …or the staple of a ranch or an animal shelter;
  • general help to keep things in order.

Volunteer in exchange for general domestic collaboration


If you find a volunteer project that interests you, read the announcements and look for the contact details section at the end of the volunteer project description. Are you looking for volunteers? Feel free to add your listing.
