Free Global Volunteer Programs (That Aren’t Total Scams)
Pay $0 as you stay around the world
This is a description of my book, Global Volunteer:
If you’re travel-obsessed like me, you’re always dreaming of far-off places to visit. Maybe you want to explore the lush tropical vibes of Bali or help orphans learn English in a rural village in Guatemala.
There are just so many exciting places to see — best of all, you can see them for free by volunteering abroad!
Unfortunately, not all of us have the bank account to travel the world in luxury hotels like your favorite Instagram “influencer” does.
What’s worse is when searching for travel volunteer programs, you’ve likely come across borderline scam websites that charge hundreds — or possibly even thousands — just for a week or two of volunteering.
That’s not what this book is about. I only write about real, vetted international volunteer programs.
I’ve sifted through countless websites and resources to find you the best ways to see more of the world while helping others for close to $0!
Discover the Right International Volunteer Program for You
If you’re looking for a fulfilling program to fill your gap year or are looking to take a sabbatical in a meaningful way, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the contents of this book — and you’ll save big on accommodation and living expenses in the process!
You’ll get insider information on the following:
- WWOOFing
- Help Exchange (HelpX & )
- AmeriCorps
- PeaceCorps
- Couchsurfing
- Donations
- And more!
This Book Is Ideal For…
High School Students
Not only will programs like WWOOF and AmeriCorps look great on a college application and resume, they’ll completely change your life (best of all, you and your parents won’t have to spend a dime if selected).
Gap Year
After spending so much time inside a classroom, why not learn from people and places that are completely foreign to you? There are plenty of gap year programs available to graduates — and you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars!
Find out how you can organize your own trip to volunteer in a dog shelter in Spain or become in Au Pair in France.
College Students & Graduates
Whether you’re already enrolled in a university and want to kill two birds with one stone (travel and education), or haven’t started your academic career yet and are considering getting an international degree as I did, you’ll find out how you can pair your need for education with your wanderlust.
If you want to find out how I graduated without debt and studied in Italy for less than $3,000, read this.
Retirees
There are many farms looking for your expertise in gardening or cooking via WWOOFing. You may be able to volunteer in an orphanage in Latin America, for example, through a help exchange program.
On top of that, there are also organizations you can join within the US like the Senior Corps which allows you to make a difference in a different corner of the US.
Young Couples
Sometimes two is better than one! If you want to travel the world as a pair, there are a plethora of benefits.
In fact, you’ll save on your WWOOFing membership (which costs between $20 and $60 in most cases. A little expense for a lot of travel and free room and board!)
Your Adventure Awaits
Travel is not limited to the elite, the privileged, and the “lucky.” If you want to travel — you will! Carve out your own future and live the life of your dreams by finding programs that allow you to travel for free.
I’ve provided you with countless programs and sincerely hope you take advantage of all the resources and opportunities at your disposal.
There’s so much of the world to see and so little time!
