WONDERING WHY YOU HAVE TO PAY TO VOLUNTEER

All short-term international volunteer programs have a program fee which covers the expenses of operating the program.  Prospective volunteers are surprised to learn that many programs charge their volunteers a fee to participate. At first this can seem ridiculous. Why should I pay money to work for free?  Here are few things to keep in mind while trying to understand why the majority of programs charge international volunteers a fee.

 

The local organizations and the projects with which you volunteer overseas have limited resources and are seldom able to subsidize your trip or cover the costs of hosting you. These costs include housing, feeding and transportation among numerous other things. 

 

The process of preparing, training, transporting, housing, feeding and supervising volunteers is not cheap. The costs of recruiting volunteers, producing literature, answering the phones, sending mails, developing a website and interviewing potential volunteers are significant.

 

All program fees are 100% tax-deductible for US residents and many people successfully raise funds. US residents should speak with a tax advisor to learn how the cost of international airfare can be tax-deductible.

 

A deposit of $150.00 is required to reserve your space. This is a non-refundable deposit and will be applied to your program fee so ENROLL TODAY!
