Program Details

Our program is based in a rural village (Tetebatu, Sembalun, Sugian, Seruni Mumbul, Ekas beach, Rinjani village area) focused on community-based ecotourism and youth development. We collaborate with local students, schools, and university groups to promote sustainable tourism, geopark, cultural exchange, and education.

Volunteers will support educational activities, assist community workshops, and help facilitate interaction between visitors and local youth. Some projects may include English practice sessions, cultural discussions, simple research support, and creative initiatives that benefit the village.

In exchange, volunteers will experience authentic village life, cultural immersion, and meaningful community engagement. We provide guidance, a supportive environment, and opportunities to learn about sustainable rural development as well as universities classroom joined with other students.

We expect volunteers to be proactive, respectful of local culture, adaptable, and willing to collaborate with community members. Commitment, positive attitude, and responsibility are essential.
