You’ll stay in a dormitory-style volunteer house.

The program has start dates on the first and third Monday of each month throughout the year.

This program ranges from 1-4 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.
