News 🌐📣
Explore volunteering and responsible travel news from around the world, including new programmes, events, community initiatives, environmental developments, travel updates and other stories relevant to volunteers, hosts and alternative travellers.
This archive is part of the wider Voluntouring blog. While the Blog also includes guides, interviews, travel stories and evergreen resources, the News tag is intended mainly for articles connected with a particular announcement, event or recent development.
What counts as news? 📰
News is information connected with a particular moment in time, such as a newly announced volunteer programme, an application call, an upcoming event, a project launch, a significant policy or travel change, or another recent development. General guides, interviews and timeless travel articles are not automatically news simply because they are newly published.

How to use this page
News can become outdated quickly. Check the publication and update dates and follow current official or primary sources before acting on application deadlines, event dates, eligibility conditions, visas, travel warnings, transport information or financial details.
Older articles can still be useful as a record of previous programmes and developments, but they should not be assumed to describe the current situation.
