Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

45 km from Ulaanbaatar. Place name is “BUHUG”. The sight is just unbelievably beautiful, typical Mongolian plain.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

We will pick up volunteers from the airport or train station

The additional fee of 250 USD for full term of participation and 180 USD for 1 week participation (or equivalent amount of MNT or Euro by current rate of Mongolian bank) should be paid on your arrival directly.

Arbeit

The aim of this project is both to improve the quality of the residents' stay in the center and to encourage exchanges between volunteers and residents, but also between residents. The residents are not a homogeneous group: they have different ages, nationalities, religions, lifestyles and life stories; there are sometimes major cultural differences between them.

The volunteers will work in several teams, which will likely be joined by residents of the center. On the one hand, they will participate in maintaining the residents' living environment (maintenance of green spaces and vegetable garden and other outdoor work, building benches, decorating a mural, etc). On the other hand, they will propose and participate in activities with the residents (cooking workshops, sports, themed evenings, etc.), particularly with the children. As the project takes place during school holidays, the children will indeed be present at the center. Feel free to bring your ideas of activities.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in the center, in a mixed dormitory with bunk beds. The toilets and showers are located in a separate building. You can store your valuables in the dormitory (which your group will have a key to) or in the staff kitchen.

You will eat with the residents the food prepared by the center. On some days, you will eat the food that you prepared yourselves during the cooking workshops with the residents.

You will share the same living conditions as the residents, which are very basic.

Lage und Freizeit

The Fedasil center in Sugny is located in the Ardennes region, in the south of Belgium, close to the French border. The center is very isolated; the region is sparsely populated and the nearest villages are 2 and 5 km away. It is surrounded by fields and woods; this site will therefore appeal to nature lovers.

In addition, the center has several sports fields and volunteers will have more than enough opportunities to enjoy leisure time and meetings with the residents. On the first evening, a drink will be organized, in order to welcome the volunteers and get to know the residents.

During the weekend, depending on what you decide, it will be possible to organize cultural visits and travel to the largest Belgian cities.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Fedasil reception centre for asylum-seekers in Sugny hosts people who have applied for asylum in Belgium. They have fled situations of war, persecution, discrimination or environmental disasters and hope, with this application, to get a refugee status that will allow them to reside legally in the country. Before being able to settle in Belgium and build their future there, they must therefore wait for their refugee status to be proven and granted through a long administrative process. During this time, they are hosted in this centre.

Always waiting, the residents of the centre live in uncertainty about the future and are sometimes subject to significant stress. Individual situations are multiple and complex, but never easy. Life at the Fedasil centre in Sugny reflects these individual dramas and the hopes of the residents.

Anforderungen

English, but some knowledge of French will be useful.
Some residents speak only French as a foreign language: this is often the case for children. Some adults are just beginning to learn French or are fluent; some know English, while others don't speak it at all. In all cases, English can be used to communicate with some people, and for others, you'll need to be creative in your communication!

The parents' association "l'Enfance de l'Art" from the school “l’Ecole de la Providence” in Templeuve is appealing to international volunteers to help renovate the school buildings. The school is housed in the former premises of a convent and its boarding school. From an international workcamp to another, the buildings and outdoor spaces are being refurbished to create an increasingly welcoming environment that supports the school's educational mission.
The volunteers will renovate a room intended to become a woodworking workshop. To do this, they will learn about lime plastering, which they will use to insulate the room's interior walls.
They will also carry out dismantling and demolition work in the building that will house the kindergarten in the future.
Finally, they may be asked to perform other small renovation and improvement tasks in the classrooms and outdoors.
The parents also want to introduce the volunteers to their community of parents involved in their children's school. They will supervise the volunteers in their tasks (some of them are construction professionals). They will also share lunch with the volunteers. So, get-togethers, sharing, and good cheer are on the agenda!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will be housed in basic shared rooms within the school. They will have access to showers and toilets, and will be able to use the washing machine occasionally.
Lunch will be prepared by the parents' association in large quantities so that volunteers can eat leftovers for dinner. Occasionally, volunteers will cook in the evenings. Please inform us in advance of any specific diet so we can organize the initial shopping.

Lage und Freizeit

The school is located in Templeuve, near Tournai, in the western part of French-speaking Belgium. From Tournai, it's possible to reach Lille (France) by train in half an hour, Brussels and Ghent (Belgium) in one hour, and Bruges and the North Sea in two hours. Many weekend excursions are therefore possible.
But there are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy in Templeuve. The school has a ping-pong table, basketball hoops, a soccer field, … Volunteers will also have bicycles available for exploring the surrounding area. Finally, on both Friday evenings of the workcamp, the parents will organize a BBQ and a little party for the volunteers.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The school “l’Ecole de la Providence” is an alternative pedagogy school – based on the Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy – that welcomes children from preschool to primary school. Here, there is no place for competition or grades; the teaching offered is based on the principles of freedom, trust, and enthusiasm, focuses on each child as an individual, and aims to enable them to develop their full potential.
The school's project is led by its parents' association, organized as a non-profit organization called "l’Enfance de l'Art" (Childhood of Art); the parents are indeed deeply involved in the school's daily life.

Arbeit

In Agape there will be more volunteer teams and a group of guests (around 100 people total). The teams, with different tasks, cooperate to provide a service to the guests: a Camp. Your team will help the Resident Group (volunteers living here) in the daily tasks. More teams from other projects will help you. Another team, the Staff, will lead activities for the guest’s Camp.
Daily tasks divide in 4 sectors:
* Kitchen: Cook for the community! Taking care of lunch and dinner. You’ll work in a professional kitchen. Team of 8 people, listening to music and.. peeling potatoes;
* Cleaning of communal areas: Preparing rooms for new arrivals. Taking care of outdoor areas. More teams of 4 people on different areas;
* Bar: Serving coffees and more to your friends during the coordinated common breaks;
* Service: Serve the breakfast for the community, prepare the hall for meals, and dry dishes. Our professional dishwasher does most of the dirty work!


Volunteers will work in 2-3 sectors during the camp, for 5-6 hours a day. There is one free day each 5 working days.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will be accommodated within the center in shared rooms hosting 3-4 people. Rooms are generally gender-separated and furnished with single bunk beds. Bathroom facilities are shared and located close to the sleeping areas, ensuring easy access for everyone.
Meals are an important moment of community life at the center. Volunteers and guests eat together in the main dining hall, sharing both food and time. The menu is designed to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences, offering a varied selection that combines traditional Italian cuisine with international recipes. Breakfast follows a typical Italian style and is mostly sweet.
Within the center, volunteers can enjoy snacks and drinks at the bar, free Wi-Fi in the common areas, access to a washing machine, and a shared refrigerator reserved for volunteers.
A small town is located nearby and offers basic shops for everyday needs, although the local pharmacy is not open every day.

Lage und Freizeit

Located in the heart of the Val Germanasca, in the Italian Alps, the center is a remarkable structure that reflects the character of its natural surroundings. Built from local stone and wood, carefully shaped by generations of volunteers, the building forms a large and welcoming house that harmonizes beautifully with the mountain landscape, preserving the authentic spirit of the valley. The area offers countless opportunities for hiking, with trails suitable for different levels and interests. The nearby town provides a variety of restaurants, cafés, and sports facilities, making it easy to relax or stay active during your free time. For those interested in culture and history, several local museums can be visited, and it is also possible to join a guided tour of the historic talc mines in the surrounding area.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The camp is organised by Lunaria in collaboration with the Waldensian Ecumenical Centre Agape.
Agape Centro Ecumenico is a social center that originated after World War II from the ideas of the Waldensian pastor Tullio Vinay in 1947. Its core values of reconciliation and reconstruction continue to shape the center’s identity and activities. The center promotes communal living, volunteer work, and international cooperation, supported by a worldwide community of volunteers who actively contribute to its mission.

Anforderungen

Volunteers will work individually among the staff and the other local volunteers in the different sectors.
Travel to Agape can be complicated, being in a very isolated place.

The camp is based at Alviðra, which offers a range of activities to connect people with nature, such as community gardens, wildlife workshops, school programs, and hikes. As part of the camp, volunteers help maintain the center through tasks like gardening, renovating the house and other projects such as removing old fences to protect wildlife, marking walking paths, and potentially do forestry work like trimming or planting trees.

This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should be prepared to share environmental issues from their home countries and be ready to spend time outdoors. Volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

SEEDS volunteers stay in an old farm which has been transformed into an environmental education centre. The facilities are basic with an equipped kitchen, dining and living room, bathroom, shower and a washing machine. Volunteers sleep in shared rooms, with up to 6 people per room.

Volunteers will receive food supplies and will be in charge of cooking and cleaning. Please note the food SEEDS provides will be vegetarian. Do not forget to bring some traditional/typical food, drinks, recipes, music, games or movies from your country for the intercultural evening. Please be aware some items or ingredients may be expensive in Iceland and you will need to buy them yourselves or bring them from your country.

Lage und Freizeit

The accommodation is located an hour drive south-east from Reykjavík. The house serves as an environmental-educational centre and sits under Ingólfsfjall, The Mountain of Ingólfur, with a view of Eyjafjallajökull where the volcanic eruptions began in March and April 2010.

The place is registered as natural Icelandic heritage; the nature, vegetation and birdlife is rich in variety and quantity. The volunteers can enjoy outdoor activities in a peaceful and beautiful location with a small stream and a pond nearby. Hiking trails with maps about cultural heritage can be found throughout the area, which is a popular attraction among both foreign and local visitors.

The nearest town, Selfoss, only 10 minutes-drive away, with 6500 inhabitants, is a centre of commerce and small industries where you find a geothermal swimming pool, shops, museums, cafés and bars.

Additional excursions (e.g. Golden Circle, the South Shore or Reykjanes Peninsula or a day-trip to the city of Reykjavík) can be arranged at discount fares depending on time availability, weather conditions, and the number of volunteers interested.

The weather may be cold or rainy, so we recommend bringing warm and/or waterproof clothes.

Arbeit

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.
These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.
Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Arbeit

Join us to create an unforgettable summer camp for children aged 3 to 18. The main contributions we ask of volunteers are to actively share their own cultures by teaching songs and dances from their home countries, to develop children's English skills, and to lead engaging games and sports activities. Through these activities, volunteers will also help foster joy, trust, and self-confidence among the children. The children will participate in age-based groups Monday through Thursday, while Friday will be a family day with parent participation. Although the camp is relatively short, with direct activities with children lasting only six days, it is highly intensive, with volunteers actively engaged with the children throughout the day.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation will be provided at the foundation's house, where you can either camp in a tent or sleep in the community space. The house has two separate restrooms, each with a shower. Activities with the children take place outdoors in the yard. If you need a short break and the group size allows, you can rest in the sleeping area. We will provide three meals a day (hot meals for lunch and dinner), with a vegetarian option available. Meals are always shared. Breakfast consists of cold items (e.g., sandwiches, boiled eggs), while lunch and dinner will be prepared together the night before. The weekly menu will be planned together during the preparatory meeting.

Lage und Freizeit

Bódvalenke is a small village with approximately 230 residents, located in northern Hungary near the Slovakian border in the Edelény district. Surrounded by natural landscapes, this experience offers volunteers the opportunity to connect with Roma culture, learn about local traditions, and share meaningful moments with fellow volunteers. It's an opportunity for cultural exchange and social impact through community engagement.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Since 2016, the Juszt-is teszünk! Foundation has been a driving force behind the transformation of Bódvalenke into the vibrant "Fresco Village," where Roma painters have turned the walls of local homes into beautiful open-air artworks. Working in a community where nearly half of the population is children and employment opportunities are limited, the Foundation has launched and sustained impactful initiatives to support and empower the local Roma community. With years of experience, deep local engagement, and a strong commitment to social change, the Juszt-is teszünk! Foundation is a dedicated and reliable partner in creating lasting impact.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Meeting point: We will meet you on July 12th, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Deák Square, at the airport bus stop (100E and 200E). If this time is too early for you, the foundation’s staff can provide accommodation for volunteers the night before.
Transportation between Budapest and Bódvalenke will be arranged by the foundation, either by car or by train. The journey takes at least 3 hours by car.

Anforderungen

There are no language requirements, but English will be the working language during the program. Please bring comfortable clothes that can get dirty while playing, a sleeping bag, and any personal medications you may need.

Two weeks before the camp starts, we will hold an online preparatory meeting on Monday evening to plan the week’s program. This also allows us enough time to gather all the necessary materials. After the camp, there will be an online reflection session, where we will discuss the experiences we shared. It would be great if you could join both sessions.
