How to volunteer abroad for free

  • During our past years of travel, we've done a lot of volunteering work: as teachers in Senegal, Mexico and Turkey, caring for animals in New Zealand, Australia, England and Greece, working with small communities in Morocco, landscaping in Ireland,... and the list goes on. We never had to pay any money to work as volunteers even though there are many website and organizations that would charge you a lot of money for this type of work! So how did we find all these volunteering jobs around the world for free? That's what we explain in this video that we made for Helpstay. And guys, you know we wouldn't recommend anything to you that we don't believe in and haven't tried out ourselves!

    Definitely had a good laugh about this (kind of) because it is sad just how much some of these programs charge to volunteer. glad you brought up this issue and shared a constructive and detailed way on how to volunteer for free! I have friends who went WOOFing which is another way to volunteer for free

    I'm a married straight male but JESUS Nikko looks handsome in this new video! haha... Love to hear about your stories guys and thank you for this recommendation. A while back Gloria and I wanted to volunteer for a school in Africa, and were put off by the amount of hassle/money it took just to have a chance to go there and help the children. Currently our plans are moving us in a different direction but in 2018 we will definitely give HelpStay a shot. It seems like a very genuine service.
    Again thank you!!
    P.S. We missed you two

Thanks brother!It took me a while to grow this amount of hair but it was worth it.Next step is the mustache ;)You guys should definitely try Helpstay they have places where you can volunteer all over the planet and its super cheap!Have a look at the volunteering opportunities they offer around South-East Asia and I'm sure you'll find someting cool.

    Thank you for your vid! Ive been seaching recently for volumteer work, but got quite suprised at how expencive it is. I have always tought volumteering meant helping without pay not pay to work.
    Some of the volunteer works ive looked on costs more than what i earn in over 6-12 months, so i am glad i found your video! I'll look into the website!

    @LaNuevaAndaluza 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Yes! I need this. I volunteered in Brazil teaching English a couple of years ago and I can't wait to go back. Except I went with IVHQ and they charged so much! And hardly any of it went to the organisations they were "helping." 😐

    • @HelpStay
      @HelpStay  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's the problem with a lot of volunteering organization nowadays.Thanks a lot for watching and if you plan to do some more volunteering in the future, have a look at our website :D

  • @funsizeisback

    I've been looking at volunteering options over the past year, and becoming more and more depressed. The idea of paying £1000+ plus air fare has really put me off. Also, most of these organisations seem to expect more than 2 - 3 weeks help. I need to work my day job here in the UK, to pay my bills. Can't really take 2 months off! I will certainly have a look at Help Stay though. Seems more what I was looking for initially.

  • @WanderingWagars
    @WanderingWagars 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This seems to be a great way to see the world on a budget! I always worry about the nature of volunteering abroad and struggle with the idea of taking jobs away from locals. I'm curious if HelpStay take that into consideration?

    • @HelpStay
      @HelpStay  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since these jobs are not paid ( voluntary work) the volunteers are not taking jobs away from locals.Also all of the volunteering opportunities are completely organised by the local communities.

    • @WanderingWagars
      @WanderingWagars 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's great to hear, it's good to know that the local communities are heavily involved. Thanks for following up!

    I really enjoyed this video and subbed to your channel. Volunteering while travelling is something I'll consider in the future. I'm hoping to travel around the world with my family perpetually and volunteering looks like a good option to make those dollars stretch a lot longer.

    • @HelpStay
      @HelpStay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a small membership fee to join HelpStay. This fee is used to run our service. There are no other costs associated with any of our listed programs outside of your own transport costs, visa (only if needed), travel insurance (not mandatory but recommended) and your day to day pocket money.

    Pay to work? Preposterous right? Outrageous. Still there are thousands of people willing to do just that. I work for you and I pay you as well on top of it. So these are actually holiday resorts stripped to the bone for which you pay an arm and a leg. Final thought. It's a sign of the times we all are so used to pay for everything that even this scams look a legitimate bargain.
