Volunteer in the world is different from the majority of other volunteer organizations. We don’t have to recoup staff and salary costs for administration. This means that volunteers can get advice on the best volunteer projects and contact directly trusted organizations that we suggest from our experience. We really want to help the countries and the people that need it the most. There is no middle man and the cost is thus very reasonable to volunteers.

Volunteer in the world proposes primarily five categories: (a) short, medium and long-term volunteer projects, self-funded positions; (b) medium and long-term volunteer projects, paid positions (c) school trips and short volunteer project to improve English, self-funded positions; (d) NGO internships; (e) professional paid positions in some NGO’s. These different options for volunteering in the world in other countries are explored in detail below. Short, medium and long-term volunteer projects, self-funded positions: It is up to you to decide the length of your experience: from one week on, you can choose how long your volunteer project will be. This scheme may suit many people, including students taking a year off, professionals taking sabbaticals to work on a specific project, individuals of all ages wishing to gain further “hands-on” practical field experience whilst volunteering overseas. Usually, volunteers must pay for their transportation to and from the project, and a program fee payment which covers food, accommodation and project costs. Medium and long-term volunteer projects, paid positions: These Volunteer in the world projects can last from anything between 2 months to 12 months. These volunteer projects are suitable for people from 18 to 30 years old, but you have to apply and send your CV. Usually, volunteers receive money for their transportation to and from the project and pocket money. Food, accommodation, visa and insurance are paid by the host organization. School trips and short volunteer project to improve English, self-funded positions: These Volunteer in the world projects can last from anything between a week to up to you. These projects are suitable both for individuals as well as for school groups. Usually, people must pay for their transportation to and from the project, and a program fee payment which covers food, accommodation, project costs and administration. NGO internships: These Volunteer in the world internships can last from one month up to one year. This internship scheme will not only provide students and other people with valuable work experience (while strengthening their CV), but also provides the chance to acquire first-hand knowledge of the working environment related to their interests. In some cases, interns will have to pay for their transportation to and from the project, and for abroad placements, a program fee payment which covers food, accommodation and project costs. Professional paid positions in some NGO: In this category, people choose to work overseas in different countries on long-term projects lasting for over a year. For these positions, people with qualifications and/or specific skills and experience are most likely to be recruited. Successful candidates may receive benefits including a monthly allowance based on the local rate, fly tickets, insurance, lodging etc.
