“Travelling with purpose and living with meaning”
What is Voluntouring?
Voluntouring.org is an independent web project that provides a free-to-browse directory of volunteering opportunities around the world for travellers, volunteers and people interested in meaningful travel experiences.
It takes inspiration from the vision of a world with fewer barriers, where people can participate, exchange experiences and actively contribute to the wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants.
Its team members are passionate travellers and volunteers, some of whom have chosen alternative lifestyles, including long-term travel and nomadic living, while exploring the world and contributing to meaningful projects.
Travelling and volunteering can be ways to experience different cultures, contribute to communities and live a more meaningful life.
We hope that the Voluntouring.org concept will continue to grow and connect people and projects around the world!
Voluntouring.org in short:
- Free to browse
(no subscription or registration required for volunteers) - Not a volunteering agency
- Run with the help of online volunteers and supported through online advertising, donations, editorial publication contributions from some hosts and organisations, and other forms of support.
- Editorial publication contributions are separate from fees paid by volunteers to hosts and are not commissions on bookings or placements.
Significant support came from TimeRepublik, a time-banking platform where people exchange services without using money.

Current goals
- Help organisations, NGOs, charities, eco-centres, organic farms, animal sanctuaries and other projects share volunteering opportunities and connect with people interested in contributing.
- Grow from a simple web project into a registered charity: help us turn Voluntouring.org into a funding resource for global NGOs, foundations, non-profits and cultural associations.
