Opportunity Overview

Workaway is a global subscription platform that connects you with hosts such as families, NGOs, farms and hostels for volunteering and cultural exchange, and you can join at any time. It is not a funded programme: travellers pay an annual membership of US$69 for one person (US$89 Plus) or US$79 for a couple or two friends (US$99 Plus), then contact hosts directly and agree on the kind of help and what the host offers in return. Travellers pay their own travel and arrange the right visa, and should read host reviews and the platform's terms before travelling. We could not confirm the usual working hours or the minimum age on the official website.
