We have added a new name to our slowly expanding little group of websites. Free (or Cheap) Volunteer Work Abroad joins the Overseas Job Centre, The Working Traveller and Jobs Abroad Bulletin in providing ways to travel longer by working abroad and volunteering.

As the name suggests this site is aimed at those looking to find volunteer programmes but do not want to pay large sums of money to get involved in helping others, the environment or even themselves by acquiring new skills and ideas.

Though there are many good reasons to do a short spot of voluntourism or take an organised gap year those with more time or used to negotiating the world independently can bypass the middle men. Volunteers can save large sums of money by finding and organising volunteer work by themselves at grassroots level.

In Free (or Cheap) Volunteer Work Abroad we have listed projects that usually just need a helping hand by self funded volunteers with bags of enthusiasm that are willing to pitch in. Other projects would benefit by exposure to a few life experience skills such as building work, computer literacy or English teaching.

Currently there are only a small amount of programmes on the site. We already have plenty of others to add and will include more when and wherever we find them.

If you are or know of a project that deserves to be on this list please get in touch with us and we will be happy to include you on our new site.
