We know that our application system might seem difficult at first, but it isn't complicated at all. In fact, we have created an easy-to-use technical infrastructure with which you can quickly find your dream volunteer program.
​

Browse on our platform and have a look to which social project you would like to dedicate your time to! You can choose where to volunteer and which cause you would like to support.

On your chosen volunteer program page, click the “Check availability” button at the top right. Then, choose your preferred start and end dates. If you're not applying alone, let us know how many people will be joining you.

Click on "Apply Now" to begin your application. Remember, submitting an application at this stage is non-binding, so you can still take your time to decide before confirming.

Please double-check your selected travel dates and ensure you've entered the correct number of volunteers if you're traveling with others. Take a moment to review the arrival details in the dedicated section. You'll also find a clear breakdown of the fees here.

Your application has been successfully submitted! 🎉

At this stage, you can share your hopes, goals, and expectations with your host organization. Clearly explain why you want to volunteer and what you hope to achieve during your journey. Based on your application details the social project will decide whether you fit their volunteer program. This is also the perfect time to ask any initial questions about the program.

Your application will usually be reviewed within seven working days. If you don’t hear back, please contact our team via email or live chat.

At this point of your application, you will also still be able to discuss the exact start and end dates with the project coordinator.

If you are accepted, the social project will send you an official invitation, including your duration and program fees. Once you receive this invitation, you’ll need to pay the deposit to reserve your spot. During the deposit payment, you can also select add-ons like Premium and Ultimate Packages and insurance.

Congratulations! Your application process is now finalized on Volunteer World. 🎉

Please note that you’ll still need to pay the remaining fees directly to the social project. Make sure to check the payment instructions provided by the social project and coordinate with them to settle the remaining program fees.

Throughout the application process, feel free to send messages to the social project or use our Live Chat if you have any questions or concerns.

Prepare your volunteer journey! Now it's time to start arranging your visa, flights and to sort out your travel insurance.
