About the opportunities listed here 🔎

Voluntouring.org publishes information about volunteering, cultural exchange, work exchange and selected travel-related opportunities. Some listings are submitted directly by hosts, while others may originate from publicly available opportunities reviewed editorially for the website.

Publication on Voluntouring.org does not automatically mean that a host, organisation or opportunity has been independently verified, approved or endorsed.

Before applying or travelling, check the current tasks, weekly hours, accommodation, meals, fees or compensation, insurance, visa or immigration requirements and any safety considerations that apply to the activities involved.

For additional guidance, read safety and legality in volunteering and work exchanges.

Volunteer online 💻

Not all volunteering requires travel. Some organisations also look for remote help with communication, fundraising, research, design, administration and other online activities.
