You’ll stay in a volunteer house with other volunteers.

The program has start dates the 1st and 15th of every month throughout the year.

This program ranges from 1-24 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available on our website.
