How to use this page – for volunteers

Click on the announcements that interest you the most. Check the date of the publication (some opportunities might be already expired). If the announcement is still valid, look for the ‘contact details’ section🔍📧. It is usually at the end of the project description. In that section, you can find free ways to get in touch with the hosting organization (website, e-mail, phone numbers, application form). Send the host a message and wait for a reply.

Note❗

For several reasons, you may not always receive an answer from the hosts.  Sometimes candidate messages are too many, so the hosts won’t always be able to reply to all of the emails. Sometimes hosts live in remote areas where the internet connection/wifi is bad. Thanks for your comprehension. For more information, please read our FAQ.
