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...)

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

courtyard houses and temples, has a lot to explore on its own. Visitors can enjoy the
surrounding mountains and hike around the village. About a mile uphill past the village is a
natural scenic spot call Yixiantian or the Thread of the Sky – a classic backdrop in Chinese
movies. Of course, there are also all the other historical sites like the Forbidden City,
Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven in Beijing worth visiting as well!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture had conducted many surveys
and long-term protection projects on the Great Wall with its students and the local
community of Cuandixia Village since the 1990s. Past projects include assisting the village to
create a cultural and creative map, as well as design logo to promote sustainable tourism.
Working hand-in-hand with local NGOs, students also assisted in the monitoring and

Join us hand in hand to create a memorable summer camp with Hajnalcsillag Tanoda in Kecskemét! Become part of an international volunteer team dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children aged 6 to 18. Support the Tanoda's two core missions: strengthening Roma culture and identity, and nurturing Christian faith. As a volunteer, you will play an important role in building children's self-confidence, fostering trust, and bringing joy into their everyday lives. You will also have the opportunity to support their English language development and unleash your creativity by leading games, sports, and other engaging activities. Together, let's create a fun and inspiring environment filled with learning, laughter, and endless opportunities.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will stay in a college building located about a 15-minute walk from the after-school center and around 10 minutes from the city center. Accommodation is in shared rooms (2–3 rooms in total). Bathrooms are located in the corridor, with separate male and female facilities, each equipped with showers. A small kitchen is available for simple food preparation, along with a common space where the team can relax and spend time together. During the program, volunteers will eat together with the children. Three meals are provided each day: breakfast, lunch, and a hot afternoon meal. You will also be invited to help with food preparation, giving you the chance to cook and share a traditional dish from your home country with the children. All ingredients will be provided by the host organization.

Lage und Freizeit

Kecskemét is one of Hungary's rapidly developing cities, rich in historical and cultural heritage. It is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture, including the stunning City Hall, and the renowned Kodály Institute, a center for Hungarian music education. Volunteers will be welcomed into a friendly environment with engaging programs and dedicated local communities that are open to international collaboration. Budapest, the country's vibrant capital, is just an hour away by train, making it easy to include a visit in your plans.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Hajnalcsillag Tanoda (Morning Star After-school) was established by the Kecskemét Reformed Congregation to support disadvantaged–primarily Roma–children in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment. The congregation is actively involved in the life of the Tanoda, providing both financial and spiritual support. In addition to supporting children’s academic development, the Tanoda plays an important role in strengthening community bonds and fostering a sense of belonging.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Meeting point: Kecskemét Train Station waiting area, on July 4th, 2026, at 6 pm.

The journey from Budapest to Kecskemét takes approximately one hour. The fastest and most convenient option is the InterCity train, which departs from Budapest-Nyugati Railway Station and stops directly at Kecskemét Train Station. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Budapest's Népliget Bus Station with a similar travel time. If you're arriving by car, the M5 motorway provides a quick and comfortable route to the city.

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.

Our association is a vibrant living space that welcomes people from all walks of life every year, working together on collective projects and firsthand learning. This year, two projects are being offered to improve the hosting of groups and the life of the center. One involves renovating the volleyball court, which quickly gets overrun by grass during the first rain. You will learn the techniques to make the court playable in any season, working about 4 hours each morning. The second project is to build wooden elements for the house, including insulating shutters. You will also participate in daily life tasks: cooking, gardening, and maintaining the shared spaces.

Bring a good sleeping bag and your pillow! You will have access to the showers and toilets in the main house. There are also dry toilets outside. The venue is equipped with a professional kitchen. Accompanied by the leaders, your group will take turns preparing meals each day. At Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week. Wi-Fi access is limited and only available in certain rooms of the house.

The community of Lyoffans wants to restore its washhouses and fountains located in the heart of the village. To do this, it relies on international volunteers with the goal of combining heritage restoration with the creation of social links between local residents and international participants. To support this initiative, you are invited to take part in restoring the paving of these infrastructures for around 6 hours a day. The program includes learning traditional masonry techniques, teamwork, and participating in community tasks, all of which provide opportunities to forge lasting bonds and contribute to the transformation of the village.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The municipality will provide an old community house, which will be refreshed for your group. You will be self-sufficient, with access to a kitchen and shared mixed spaces for sleeping (3 to 5 volunteers per room). Beds will be provided by the local residents, but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.
A shower is available on-site, but we also encourage you to take advantage of the bathrooms in the homes of the residents: every opportunity is a good way to encourage interaction! It's just a three-minute walk to the work site. For other trips, the villagers will be happy to give you a lift in their cars to go shopping or explore the region.
Accompanied by the camp leaders, you will design the menu and prepare the meals each day in turns. The budget is approximately 5 € per day per person. There is the possibility to eat vegetarian or vegan; please plan accordingly if necessary. Often, you will share meals with the villagers, giving you the opportunity to discover the local gastronomy.

Lage und Freizeit

Lyoffans (70200), Haute-Saône, France

Leisure activities : Whether during the afternoons or the weekends, your group will initiate and organize free-time activities. The ideal program will consider everyone's wishes, local possibilities (hikes, local artists, summer concerts, castles, etc.), and the budget. You can also rely on the support of the villagers to organize moments of exchange; they will be delighted to share their advice on how to best discover the local environment.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

After a successful first international project, the residents of Lyoffans are eager to welcome volunteers back to their village. This project is part of a series of long-term initiatives to promote sustainability and solidarity, in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities.”
This year, the focus will be on working on a concrete project while building connections, exchanging, and sharing authentic moments. This experience is an ideal opportunity to discover new ways of thinking and acting, while sharing your skills in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Each project is a unique adventure, and we invite you to live yours!

Arbeit

For the Summer Camp to run smoothly, we very much rely on volunteers who are interested in helping with different practicalities. Your important effort will make a very positive change for the participants, as you will contribute to the framework of the Table Tennis Camp, which aims at empowering people, developing their skills, and bringing them together towards their common passion for table tennis.

The camp is especially good for you if you like to engage with people in a very international environment, and if you are interested in improving your teamwork and problem-solving skills, because the work requires that you adapt to changes quickly.

When it comes to the specific tasks, there will be rotation between them to make the days vary for all volunteers. These different tasks include assisting in the kitchen, with all practicalities such as cooking and serving the food to the other camp participants. Similar tasks include helping with cleaning assistance or driving shuttle buses to and from the airport, train station, and ferry terminals. Other tasks could be overseeing activities with the camp participants and the smallest children and finally helping in the administration with check-in, check-out, and room preparations.

It will also be possible to be a sparring partner in the Table Tennis Camp and interact with the camp participants. Therefore, it would be an advantage if you enjoy playing table tennis and would like to practice it some more, but no experience is needed. We welcome people at all levels! In addition, it will be possible for you to continue playing table tennis in your free time.

The program:
As a volunteer, your work week will consist of 5 working days and 2 days off, though these days will be rotating between you. This means that you might have to work on the weekend, but then you will have time off during the week. Your workday will be no more than 7 hours, and you will be working with local volunteers. Work starts in the morning and the afternoon. Some tasks, like being a part of the administration or driving team, mean you must work at different times during the day.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Sleeping + bathroom facilities:
The volunteers will be sleeping in classrooms at the local school. There will be mattresses, pillows, and bedding. The school is within walking distance of the Work Camp. It only takes a few minutes to get there. The bathrooms are next to the classrooms where you will be sleeping.

Meals + kitchen facilities:
All Work Camp participants eat in the canteen with all the other participants. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided by the Work Camp host.

Lage und Freizeit

During your three-week stay in Northern Jutland, you will also have time to explore the unique nature and interesting attractions in Denmark.

Your Work Camp leaders will help you and the group with organizing these activities in your spare time. It is free to enjoy the beautiful nature of Northern Jutland, but some activities such as museums and galleries might require an extra charge. The host will not cover additional charges.

The Work Camp will be remarkably close to the beach, so there are incredibly good opportunities to go for a swim. It is also very much possible to explore the nearby towns by going sightseeing or shopping. For instance, you can arrange a day trip to Skagen, which is the Northern tip of Denmark where the two oceans meet. Skagen is especially famous for its special light, which has attracted many painters, yellow and red houses, art galleries, delicious seafood, and much more. You can also take a day trip to Aalborg, the third biggest city in Denmark, where you find a large variety of shopping opportunities while enjoying the cozy atmosphere in the iconic and old streets of Aalborg.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Work Camp will be a part of our annual International Table Tennis Summer Camp. The exciting Summer Camp has existed for 17 years and is arranged by B75, which is a value-based table tennis club with professional trainers and players.

During the Summer Camp, 200 trainers and players from all over the world will gather for three weeks of learning, fun, friend-making, and sharing their common passion for Table Tennis. This year, they come from 43 countries. It creates a great party in the town and the atmosphere is amazing, which we would love you to become a part of.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Volunteers will share their time between animation of the center's residents (especially the children and teenagers living there) and maintaining the center's outside areas, including its vegetable garden. They may also be asked to do some other small tasks, such as helping to sort clothes donated to the center.

Recreational activities:
Half the time, volunteers will organize and lead activities for the center's residents, particularly children and teenagers. Some examples could be: group games, creative and artistic workshops, board games, walking excursions, going to the swimming pool, sports, movies, cultural visits, ...
The children are between 3 and 12 years old. However, it is impossible to predict in advance the number and ages of children who will be staying in the center at the time of the project. The children speak French.

The teenagers are between 13 and 17 years old. Some arrived in Belgium alone, without family members. Some of the teenagers are also mothers.

If there are not enough children and teenagers in the center during the workcamp, the volunteers will also organize activities for the adults living in the center.

The volunteers will receive the support of the center's animation team, who’s used to work with volunteers every summer. However, they will have some autonomy to offer their own activity ideas.

Outdoor maintenance:
The other half of the time, volunteers will work outside to make the center's environment more pleasant for residents. For example, they will plant and sow flowers, remove weeds, or help out in the center's vegetable garden. They will also carry out maintenance tasks on the playground.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will sleep in a mixed dormitory with bunk beds, in an annex building. Toilets are located in the same building, but for showers, volunteers will have to go to the main building. Volunteers will have access to the washing machines in the center’s laundry room and can leave their personal belongings (passport, money, etc.) in the safe at reception if they wish. They will have access to Wi-Fi. They will have tea and coffee available during the day in the staff kitchen.

Volunteers will be cooking their own meals in a small, basic kitchen. So feel free to bring your own recipe ideas, but keep in mind that it should be kept simple. Please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary requirements so that we can do some shopping ahead.

Lage und Freizeit

Rixensart is a small town located 25 km from Brussels and 7 km from Wavre. Rixensart still retains its country charm but you can feel its proximity to Brussels (40 minutes by train, 20 by car). The Fedasil center is located outside the city center, but a few steps from the famous lake of Genval, the cinema, shops, supermarkets, the train station…

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The Fedasil reception center for asylum-seekers in Rixensart hosts individuals or families who have requested asylum in Belgium. They hope, with this request, to get refugee status which will allow them to stay legally in the country. These people come, for example, from Palestine, Afghanistan, Eritrea, DRC, etc. and have fled situations of war, persecution, discrimination or environmental disasters. Before they can settle in Belgium and build their future there, their refugee status must be proven and granted through a long administrative process. In the meantime, they are hosted in this center near Brussels.

Always waiting, the residents of the center never know what tomorrow may bring them. Individual situations are multiple and complex, but never easy. The life of the Fedasil center in Rixensart reflects these individual tragedies and the hopes of the residents.

The Fedasil center of Rixensart has hosted groups of volunteers for many years.

Arbeit

La ville de Saint-Mihiel organise des chantiers de bénévoles pour restaurer des murs et murets en pierre-sèche, qui ont été reconstruits trop vite et peu durablement après les Guerres Mondiales. Pourtant, ils font le charme de la ville et représentent aussi des refuges importants pour la biodiversité (insectes et oiseaux viennent s'y installer). Aujourd'hui, l'ensemble est inscrit au titre de zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique et sa protection est assurée par l'Etat.
Viens participer à la restauration des murs de la Promenade des Capucins et deviens acteur·rice de la préservation d’un site historique ! Tu apprendras les techniques traditionnelles de maçonnerie, manieras la pierre, travailleras la chaux et contribueras à redonner vie au lieu. Encadré·e par un·e professionnel·le, tu découvriras les secrets des murs en pierre sèche et maçonnés. Tu travailleras en équipe et profiteras d’une ambiance conviviale et stimulante. Tu pourras aussi observer les différentes étapes de restauration et comprendre comment un chantier patrimonial se déroule. En cas de forte chaleur, les travaux se limiteront aux matinées pour profiter pleinement des après-midis. Cette expérience te permettra de développer tes compétences, de partager un moment unique et de laisser ta trace sur un lieu chargé d’histoire.

The town of Saint-Mihiel organises volunteering workcamps to restore dry-stone walls and small stone structures that were rebuilt too quickly and unsustainably after the World Wars. They add to the town's charm and serve as important refuges for biodiversity, providing homes for insects and birds. Today, the entire area is recognised as a natural zone of ecological interest, and its protection is ensured by the state.
Come take part in the restoration of the walls at the Promenade des Capucins and become an active participant in preserving a historic site! You will learn traditional masonry techniques, handle stone, work with lime, and help bring the site back to life. Supervised by a professional, you will discover the secrets of dry-stone and masonry walls. You will work as part of a team in a friendly and stimulating environment. You will also have the opportunity to observe the different stages of restoration and understand how a heritage project is carried out. During periods of strong heat, work will be limited to mornings so you can fully enjoy the afternoons. This experience will allow you to develop your skills, share a unique moment, and leave your mark on a place full of history.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Les bénévoles logent à la Base de Loisirs de Saint-Mihiel, située à 20min à pied de la Promenade des Capucins. Ils partagent les lieux avec un centre de loisirs local, et des vacanciers installés en caravane ou en tentes aux alentours. Les espaces dédiés aux bénévoles du chantier sont privatisés.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les bénévoles participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs. Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !
Dans une optique de réduction de l’impact environnemental de nos chantiers, nous privilégions des menus végétariens, qui répondent à tous les besoins nutritionnels des participant·e·s.
Le groupe sera constitué de bénévoles français·e·s et internationaux·ales. Afin d’assurer l’intégration de tout le monde, nous comptons sur toi pour parler anglais autant que possible !

Volunteers are accommodated at the Saint-Mihiel Leisure Center, located 20 minutes on foot from the Promenade des Capucins. They share the space with a local recreation center and vacationers staying in caravans or tents nearby. The areas dedicated to the project volunteers are privatised for their use.
Beyond working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces. Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organisation!
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, we prioritise vegetarian menus, which meet all the nutrional needs of participants.
There will be French volunteers on the workcamp. Some of them might not speak English. This can be an opportunity for everyone to develop new language skills and innovatove ways of communicating!

The region, ideal for nature lovers, boasts stunning panoramas and plenty of cultural and festive events. It’s the perfect place to recharge and explore the local history!
