Volunteer - A Traveller's Guide to Making A difference Around the World

WWOOF

www.wwoof.org

Well respected and long standing, WWOOF organisations compile lists of organic farms that host volunteers.

Timing & Length of Placements

Each placement is unique and the duration and timing depends on the needs of the host. Placements are year round, although there is less work in winter months. Volunteers generally work four to six hours per day, six days a week.

Destinations

WWOOF has organisations in 24 countries including Ghana, Sweden, Mexico, Italy and Korea. They also have independent hosts in around 50 more countries.

Costs

Most WWOOF organisations charge a membership fee of about £15 which gives you access to a host list and a membership card. Other than that, volunteers are entirely self-funding although room and board are generally provided for free by the host.

Eligibility

An interest in conservation, community development or environmental teaching.
