How to volunteer abroad for free
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2017
- 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!

What a great and worthwhile program. Not only do you get given board and food but you get to make a difference in the process and see a bit of the world. That's a win for everyone!
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!
Your videos so informational. I'll check out the website to find something for myself. Thank you so much! :)
I learn something new every time I watch your videos! Such a great way to travel and make a difference!
Hello Krix
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
Very interesting and informative video. We never really thought about volunteering abroad but you're right: it'd be a great way to get to know different cultures!
Indeed, it's a great way to help and become part of the local communities :) Thanks for watching
I love watching your videos, they are not only eye pleasing but I learn something new from them each time. Thanks for being inspirations. It's very cool that you generously share your experiences. Much love and the best wishes.
Thanks Nina!

I don't understand why some volunteering work costs a lot! Thank you for sharing this. I'll go check out their website ;-)
Thanks for the info!! I'll be checking out HelpStay for my next trip :)
Wow!!! What a cool opportunity to travel on a tiny budget. Never heard about Helpstay before and will definitely do more research on them and perhaps join them soon. Thank you for sharing this video.

That's very interesting. I might look into this on future trips - thank you.
Thanks for watching!
You are an inspiration to everyone. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching Emhar :)
this is a really informative video. everybody should be aware that it's possible to be a volunteer for free in exchange of a place to sleep and a meal. thank you for sharing it!
Thanks for watching!
thanks for sharing this guys! will check out HelpStay.
Thanks for watching :)
Great video you two, entirely agree that those prices you quoted were ridiculous! Great to see my favourite nomad couple back on youtube, hope there are more vlogs coming when you're on the road again :)
Thanks for watching :)
Oh thanks Dan! :) we can't wait to be on the road again :D we'll be making more vlogs soon.
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.
Exactly!Volunteer is a great way to travel on a budget.Thanks for watching guys and happy travels!
Wow, I can't believe some organisations are making you pay that much to volunteer. Helpstay sounds like a great way to find a perfect fit for you personally. We should definitely try it while we are traveling
Thanks for watching :)
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
Hahaha!! 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.
Thanks alot for sharing this useful information! I can't imagine that silly websites asking us to pay more than 1000 or 2000 USD to travel like a volunteer! Very funny your helping people stopping your job and paying alot of money to volunteer! No logical!
hahaha, that is so true... i see that all the time, but i seem like the one who might fall for it and waste my money. I really love this and what you guys are doing. I actually might be going to thailand so i will check this out. thanks. love ya both... P.s. you're hair looks great niko. haha
Haha thanks brother! :D
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." 😐
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
Thank you for the video. I'm thinking to travel the wolrd one day and I'm looking for programs.
Have a look at our site - helpstay.com/ -- all our programs are listed there.
that's cool. there was one organization i was thinking of doing volunteering in Costa Rica once and it cost thousands. I'll have to use Help Stay in the future!
Check out our website, we offer volunteering opportunities in Costa Rica :)
Wow, very inspiring! I'm sure that this way of volunteering is way more affordable! I agree that you shouldn't pay to volunteer!!
Indeed, the hard work and willingness to help these people and their communities is a form of payment.
Thanks for sharing this. I find it crazy when people try to make us pay a lot to volunteer
Thanks for watching :)
We were actually researching on this topic & your guide is very handy! We will definitely check out the website & try getting more opportunities! Also, which location is this? It looks gorgeous. :)
I was so surprised that some charge so much money for volunteering! as you said I expected it to be for free - you give your work and get food and accomodation
Lol love their definition of "on a budget"....are they serious? Thanks for sharing the contact of the platform, it is really useful ! 45 hours per day seems quite challenging though (guess you meant per week) ^^
Oh sorry haha that was 4 to 5 hours per day not 45 ;) Thanks for watching.
oh:) That's way more reasonnable:). Thanks for the great tips.
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?
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.
That's great to hear, it's good to know that the local communities are heavily involved. Thanks for following up!
Great information. there's so many scammers out there, it's crazy. Good production.
Thanks for watching Jesse!
can't wait to go now!!
Thank you for your comment.
MeToWe comes to mind. It's more of a self-fulfillment trip than a volunteering trip.
How does it work?
Yep - I paid several thousand to teach in a school in South Africa on my Gap Year. Wish HelpStay had existed then!!
Oh taht's a lot of money!! Will you be doing more volunteering work in the future?
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.
Lovely vlog, I am a student and the only thing I have to give is my time. Not money.
Thank you for your comment.

I am a teacher in India so so I want it work in volunteer in in Romania hungry how to to find volunteer work in this country can you please help me E I am already teacher in the government school so so can I help me E I am volunteer work in school angry Latvia and Estonia country so so find the volunteers list and NGO thank you
We do have some opportunities in Romania, you can search by country at helpstay.com/
Not all countries can participate in volunteer for free
This program is not free .....
YOU HAVE TO PAY TO BECOME A MEMBER THEREFORE ITS CLEARLY NOT FREE
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.
Is this legit? Is there anyone who’s tried this and really had a great experience?
Feedback and reviews are especially important, both hosts and helpers review their experience. Feedback can be found at the bottom of the host project listing.
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.
Your videos so informational. I'll check out the website to find something for myself. Thank you so much! :)
