Travel with purpose. Volunteer abroad.

Volunteering abroad means travelling overseas to give your time to a community, education, childcare, healthcare or conservation project — typically for one to 24 weeks — with accommodation, meals, support and the placement arranged for you. Programmes charge a fee that covers your stay and supports the project.

Our programmes start from around US$250 per week, which typically covers accommodation, meals, airport pickup and in-country support. International flights, insurance and visas are extra — see each programme page for current pricing.

Your fee covers your accommodation, meals, airport pickup, in-country support and a contribution to the project itself. We publish a clear breakdown so you always know where your money goes — and as a B Corp, we're held to account for it.

Anyone aged 17+ (younger on selected family and high-school programmes). No prior experience or qualifications are needed for most projects — just enthusiasm and an open mind.

Most volunteers book 1–3 months ahead, but we accept applications up to a week before departure on many programmes. Booking early gives you the best choice of dates and projects.

Safety is built into every programme: vetted accommodation, a 24/7 in-country coordinator, airport pickup and a thorough pre-departure briefing. We're a member of WYSE Travel Confederation and follow strict safeguarding standards.
