WHO WILL I BE STAYING WITH?

One of the most exciting parts of volunteering in a new country and culture is the people you will meet. All our accommodation is private, but you will share with other volunteers, students and professionals from around the world. 

This is a great way to make new friends for life, travel and explore the country together, plan trips and support each other. Many of our locations offer multiple placement opportunities, so this is also a great way to meet others who are focusing on a different area to you. 

You will be part of a pop-up team, and you are all there to make a difference. Your housemates will become your in-country family. There is also space to find some space to be alone, to write your diary and to catch up with friends and family back home.

WILL I HAVE SUPPORT IN-COUNTRY?

All our project locations offer experienced local-employed support staff. You will be taken care of from the minute you touch down at the airport, with a friendly face there to greet you in arrivals. 

You will be transported to your accommodation and project and introduced to the local staff. 

Our in-country team will go above and beyond to ensure your every need is met, and will go out of their way to help you plan any trips, or make adjustments to your placement and accommodation if required. 

There will be a housekeeper, and cook staying on location, and we can cater for most dietary needs, please talk to us before departure about this in more detail.
