If you have not already done so, please check our Fees & Costs page before proceeding. Before applying, please ensure you have a passport that is valid for another six months after your planned departure date from the country you want to volunteer in. This is called the 6-month rule and is applied by many African countries.
To apply, please email kevin_alderson@yahoo.co.uk with your chosen destination, type of volunteering activity (or activities, if you wish to do more than one), the approximate departure date, and the duration of stay. Please mark the email subject as "Greenfield initial application".
We want to be sure we can accommodate your choices before proceeding further, so on receipt of your email we will check and confirm if your choices are available. If they are not, we will offer some alternatives instead. There is no obligation to proceed if they are not suitable.
You can also use the above email address to make any enquiries about volunteering in general.
Once you have accepted our offer, you must confirm your enrolment by paying a deposit of £50. Please note this is non-refundable. We will then send you our pre-departure pack. This document will provide you all the details and advice you need to obtain a visa, volunteer travel insurance, vaccinations, medication, etc.
We recommend you give yourself at least 8 weeks between enrolling on our program and your planned departure date, to book flights and get all necessary paperwork before you travel. We will, of course, provide support and answer any queries you have during this period.
Please note the fee balance is due 4 weeks before departure. We will send a reminder email to you before the balance is due.
