Green Volunteers, the Worldwide Information
Network to Conservation, Humanitarian and Archaeological Voluntary
Work.
|
 |
|
A comprehensive tool for students and families,
for educators and for University Career or Placement centres to expose
everyone to the widest possible choice to plan a period of
volunteering abroad for a summer vacation, for a gap year or to gain
professional or research experience. |
Who we are!
Green Volunteers is a very efficient tool to help find hundreds of
Volunteering projects all over the world, many at no or low cost.
What sort of projects you can find through Green
Volunteers?
Green Volunteers receives constant calls from projects needing volunteers
from all over the world. In particular for Conservation Volunteering,
Green Volunteers is the only worldwide information network. Projects are
long or short term, for students, researchers, professionals or retired
people, with or without experience. They are ideal for a vacation, a gap
year or a leave of absence. You can volunteer for 2 weeks, 2 months or
even 2 years.

Wildlife Conservation projects, are all over the world
(also in the UK) and encompass a variety of species and habitats.
There are also ideal projects for students looking for a thesis or
research topics. Many of which are National Parks and protected areas,
dealing with marine or terrestrial species year round, literally in
every corner of the World.
Humanitarian projects, are in developing countries and
Eastern Europe. There are a variety of projects practically in every
Cooperation and Development field: from agriculture to health, from
urban development to refugee aid, from hunger relief to small
enterprise development. There are projects open to people of any age,
with a variety of experiences: from students to skill workers, from
electricians to computer experts or nurses, from agronomists to
medical doctors. Projects can last from3-4 weeks to several years.
Many positions for professionally qualified people are paid. For
students at their first International Cooperation Experience many work
camp opportunities are listed.
Archaeological and Heritage projects in the UK, Europe
and all over the World concerning practically every historical era,
from the Romans, to the Maya or to Industrial Archaeology. Projects
are usually short term for beginning volunteers. |
 |
We
make a point of selecting low cost or no cost projects. We are
perfectly aware of the high costs that many organisations ask to
volunteers. We therefore do our best, without excluding major
organisations, to select no or low cost affordable projects, to allow
everyone, particularly low income students, to volunteer worldwide.
