Secure your placement
Secure your place with a one-off deposit of £125 to register with Original Volunteers. Once registered you can access all the available placements for up to 12 months without paying a further fee or deposit to Original Volunteers. Whether you plan to join one project at this stage or many over the coming months you only need to register once.
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 volunteer project.
In addition, for most projects (see table below) there is no further payment for your accommodation and local support team until you arrive at your project. Volunteering with Original Volunteers is is the easiest and most flexible way to volunteer.
