How Affordable are We? You give your time and pay a small cost for travel and in return you gain an enhanced exchange of culture, learn new languages, develop friendships, gain new insight of your personal life goals, and discover yourself by testing limits and challenging yourself. Our volunteer programs start at USD$120 for a week with a one-time registration fee of $200.00 at the time of booking but being affordable does not mean we cut back on our quality. Our volunteer housing is safe, comfortable, and inviting. We work hard to provide you with the best quality accommodation and a truly amazing volunteer experience.
