Programs / Activities
- Short-term International Voluntary Service Program (international workcamps from 2 to 4 weeks)
Participating in an international short term volunteer project (so called Workcamp) can be an exciting prospect. It is an interesting and meaningful way to travel with purpose and spend 2-3 weeks in a foreign environment. Working and living together with other young people from around the world provides an excellent opportunity to make many new friends, learn about unknown places and culture, gain new skills and experience. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm can make a difference in areas where help is really needed.

- Middle and long-term Voluntary Service (periods: 3 months to 18 months)
A middle term project usually lasts from 3 to 6 months, and a long term project - a year or longer. It's a non-formal international learning experience developing volunteer's sensitivity towards social and cultural differences, self-confidence and problem solving ability. Middle and long-term volunteering is individual rather than in groups. Often there are 2-3 volunteers working on a certain project.
Middle and long term volunteers are immersed in the local culture to a much greater extent allowing them to integrate better with the local community and actually become part of it. Over time volunteers can learn the local language, make friends and better understand the needs and problems of the locals. This enables them to take more active role in the running of the project by implementing their own ideas for accomplishment of better outcomes.
