Optional add-ons
Add-ons, only where they help
Two optional extras, offered during your requirements stage after you apply. Neither is padded into your price: the Deposit and Program Fee stay exactly as published.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance is required for every placement and is not included in your fees. You can bring your own policy, accepted with proof of coverage, or add GoAbroad travel insurance through our insurance partner when you complete your requirements.
Whichever you choose, the policy must cover your whole placement and the activities your project involves. A reef project with dive work needs dive coverage; your Placement Coordinator confirms what your project requires before anything is due.
Your policy must include
- Coverage for the whole placement, from arrival to departure
- Medical treatment and emergency evacuation
- Activity coverage matched to your project, including diving where the project involves dive work
eSIM for your destination
An optional eSIM keeps you connected from the moment you land, without hunting for a local SIM on arrival day. It is offered alongside your other requirements, sized to your destination and stay.
Why volunteers add it
- Data from the moment you land, no SIM-swapping at the airport
- A plan sized for your destination and stay length
- Your Placement Coordinator and the partner’s local emergency contact reachable from day one
When you choose add-ons
Add-ons appear during the requirements stage, after your application and screening call, alongside your documents and background check. Nothing is pre-selected and nothing is due until your requirements are complete. The published price promise on the pricing page holds either way.
Questions about coverage?
Ask before you apply or during your screening call; a Placement Coordinator will give you a straight answer.
