Why pay for a volunteer program abroad?

Some people manage to find their own volunteer placements independently, but this can take ages to get organized and sometimes, it is not always safe. As a result, not all travelers have that great lifetime experience they had hoped for.

Many participants express that the concept of paying for a volunteer post is strange at first. For this reason we have listed the reason below why you should pay for a volunteer program abroad:  

• You save time organizing the trip
   
• You will volunteer in one of Belgium's many non-profit organizations or associations
   
• We will find the accommodation for you which is convenient to your post
   
• We organize 4-week intensive orientation French course, to improve your language skills before the internship
   
• You will have a tutor there to help you with academic and professional affairs
   
• Transfer from and to the airport
   
• We provide full coverage health, accident and travel insurance
   
• We screen all organizations
   
• A new way for you to travel, discover, learn and aid!
