Expeditions 🧭
Explore volunteer expeditions where travelling along a route or moving between different locations is an integral part of the project. Expeditions may involve conservation, research, sailing, environmental work, community projects or other activities carried out during a structured journey.
This is a specific tag rather than a general adventure-travel category. A project should not be classified as an expedition simply because it takes place in a remote area, involves trekking or includes excursions during volunteers’ free time.
What is a volunteer expedition? 🧭
On Voluntouring.org, an expedition is a structured journey or mobile project in which participants travel along a route, between field locations or as part of a moving team while carrying out volunteering, research, conservation or another defined activity. The journey itself should be a substantial part of the project rather than an optional recreational activity.
Mobile projects and field conditions
Expeditions can involve boats, vehicles, horses, diving bases or other forms of mobile fieldwork. Accommodation, transport, schedules and access to services may change during the journey, so participants should understand how the project operates from one location to another.
For remote, marine or physically demanding expeditions, confirm the required experience, safety procedures, communication systems, insurance, emergency arrangements and any specialist equipment before participating.
