Youth Volunteer Trips

If you always wanted to do some volunteer activity abroad but never dared to do it, maybe this is your chance. Today we present in this article several possibilities of youth volunteer trips. In some, the cost of the transfer will be borne by you and in others it will be completely free, both the trip and the stay.

If you want to know more about them to consider the option of volunteering on your next vacation, this is your chance. Shuffle the following options well that we propose and decide!

WWOOF (opportunities in organic farms around the world)

WWOOF is a great way to take a relatively inexpensive trip that is also an incredible learning experience.

In exchange for your help on the farm of your choice (you have freedom of choice) offer food and lodging. According to the farm, you will have the possibility to volunteer from one work week to several years (depending on your interests and availability).

In WWOOF they have thousands of farms in 53 different countries. And remember, you choose the farm you want to go to. If you choose this option, you would only have to pay for the trip.

Volunteers for conservation from Australia and New Zealand

If you are attracted to the environmental issue, this proposal may interest you. From the website www.conservationvolunteers.com.au they offer a series of short-term projects both in Australia, New Zealand and in other international destinations. The purpose of this collaboration would be to work as a group to protect habitats and promote eco-tourism.

However, this volunteering is not like the previous one, here if you have certain costs to cover: house and food for about $ 40 Australian dollars per night (if your stay is short), and from $ 208 Australian dollars per week in the case of projects with that duration in the destination.

The accommodation would be in campings or simple prefabricated cabins.

Language volunteering

How about teaching English and / or Spanish in Sudan? It is the project that they have underway from the web www.svp-uk.org/ and on this occasion, the volunteers who want to take advantage of this opportunity would have to cover their transfer (both outward and return trips) but accommodation and food are they would take over.

Your mission would be to teach English and / or Spanish in developing educational centers. According to people who have already worked as volunteers in these centers, it is a very gratifying and emotional mission, because you are offering opportunities to children who hardly have the means in matters such as education or health.

This volunteer program would be ideal for teaching students, who like children and with a vocation to teach.
