Very informative post about why people have to pay for volunteering. I think a lot of the misunderstanding in paying is that they hear “volunteering” which is for free but one can’t forget the costs you’ve mentioned above.

Hi Sarah, this a great post. VolunteerStays offers a rather different way of volunteering, if you don’t want to pay for expensive volunteer programs but want to volunteer. It’s a great way to experience local cultures and ways of life and do something meaningful on your next vacation without spending too much. Not only a monetary contribution can bring you satisfaction of doing something good.

After searching for international volunteer organizations, CrossContinental is the most flexible and the most affordable one I have ever found. Fully flexible start date and work schedule. Extremely affordable programs fees starting from $180 (including food, accommodation, 24/7 on-site support, work placement, and regular cultural/social activities.) I am glad that I have chosen them to share this experience of a lifetime.

We visited the Elephant Nature Park outside Chiang Mai, Thailand for the day, but you can volunteer there for the week or longer. Add this place to the list. It was a great experience. Loads of people there volunteering for a week or more. Just the day trip was very rewarding. Great food, too!
