Our volunteer program is designed to give volunteers a meaningful experience while supporting our daily activities and community projects.
Volunteers will help with approximately 20–25 hours per week, usually spread across 5 days, with 2 days off. The exact schedule may vary depending on the activities and needs of the project.
Volunteers may assist with activities such as helping with children and educational activities, keeping shared areas clean and organized, supporting daily community tasks, and participating in simple activities around the project.
Before starting, volunteers will receive an orientation explaining the house rules, daily routine, responsibilities, and activities. We encourage volunteers to be responsible, respectful, friendly, and willing to work as part of a team.
In exchange for their help, volunteers will receive accommodation and the agreed benefits described in our Worldpackers listing. Volunteers will also have free time to explore the local area, experience the culture, meet local people, and enjoy their stay.
We welcome volunteers from different backgrounds and encourage cultural exchange. Our goal is for volunteers to contribute positively while also learning new skills and having a memorable experience.
