For NGOs & community organizations
Partner with us
We work with a small number of grassroots organizations. If your organization genuinely benefits from volunteers, we’d like to hear from you.
What you receive
You set your own Program Fee
Your organization sets its Program Fee and receives it in full. Volunteer Abroad takes nothing from it.
Prepared volunteers with complete files
We handle marketing, screening, application review, requirements management, and pre-departure preparation. You receive oriented, background-checked volunteers with complete files, not walk-ins.
A booking platform you don’t have to build
Applications, requirements, payments and introductions all run through our platform, so hosting volunteers never means building your own.
One point of contact
Shared frameworks for safeguarding, orientation design, and impact measurement, with no juggling dozens of sending organizations.
No exclusivity requirement
Partnering with us never limits how else your organization recruits or hosts volunteers.
What we ask of partners
- Grassroots, community-rooted work with an established track record (generally 5+ years)
- Formal safeguarding policies, especially around children and vulnerable populations
- Vetted accommodation, meals and daily transport, provided or coordinated
- A consistent, trained on-site supervisor for each volunteer
- 4–6 hours/day of meaningful work aligned to an agreed focus area
- Liability insurance
- Regular reporting on volunteer wellbeing and project progress
- Willingness to collaborate on quality reviews, training, and program design
Think it’s a fit?
Introduce your organization: your history, your community, and the work volunteers would genuinely help with. We respond to every serious inquiry.
