Volunteering opportunities in Russia
Warning ❗
Due to the ongoing war and the current security situation, travelling to Russia is strongly discouraged. Many governments advise against travel, and entry rules, legal risks and personal safety conditions can change quickly.
This page is an archive of listings. Some projects may be paused, outdated or no longer active. Always verify availability and conditions directly with the organiser, and check official travel advice from your own government before making any plans.
If you know verified ways to support people affected by the war, feel free to contact us and we will review your suggestions.

How to use this page
Open the opportunity you are interested in and check the publication date. If it still looks current, read the full post and use the contact details (usually email or an application form) to contact the organiser. Please confirm the schedule, what is included, and all safety and legal requirements before making any plans.
Many opportunities in our archive are work exchanges (for example, accommodation and sometimes meals in return for a limited number of volunteer hours), but conditions vary from host to host.
Attention: visas and invitations
Visa rules and entry requirements can change at short notice. Make sure you can cover visa and travel costs and check official sources for the correct visa type. In most cases, organisations, families and local communities cannot provide invitation letters.
