Volunteer World's Benefits
Platform Service
Support & Mediation
Flex Option
Refund Guarantee
Best Price Guarantee
Volunteer World's goal to offer you the best experience can be divided into 3 pillars:
we follow high ethical guidelines for humanitarian projects and animal welfare
we guarantee you a high quality of our partner organizations
we guarantee the best price on Volunteer World
This is why all of our partner organizations have committed themselves to not charging higher fees for their programs on Volunteer World compared to their own websites. The price on Volunteer World differs a maximum of 5% from the prices on the organization's website (e.g. due to exchange rate fluctuations).
If, in the unlikely event, you do come across an organization where this isn’t the case, feel free to contact our live chat or point it out to your project coordinator during the application process. It might be a simple oversight, such as a price update on the organization's side. Your volunteer organization will adjust your offer on Volunteer World to give you the best price.
What does the Best Price Guarantee include?
Because we have received some questions about the Best Price Guarantee in the past, here is a summary of which price is decisive. The price guarantee can only be claimed if the volunteer program
covers the same services (eg. same accommodation, equipment)
has the same check-in and check-out dates
is offered in the same currency
The decisive factor is always the total price. Some of our partners' websites can have different fees (e.g. program fee, processing fee, payment fee). As transparency is one of our goals, we always show you the total price on Volunteer World.
The price discrepancy also has to be noticed during the application process.
Please note that the Best Price Guarantee does not apply if the organization lowers its fees (due to e.g. exchange rate fluctuations or discounts) after you have made your reservation and have paid the deposit.
Why should you apply through Volunteer World?
In addition to the best price, Volunteer World offers you more benefits and security:
Quality Assurance: High ethical standards & transparent social impact
Flex Option: Change your reservation at no extra costs
Refund Guarantee: We refund your fees if your project cancels your trip
Support & Mediation: We cover your back no matter what happens
