In addition, the 12 months start when you arrive at your first project not when you register. This means if you register now and go to a project next year, your year with Original Volunteers starts next year when you arrive at your first project. This gives you extra time to prepare and save for your trip, especially if it will be your first experience of volunteering abroad.
