Why Volunteer?

Volunteering is a life-changing experience not just for you but for those people (or animals!) that you help through your work.  Volunteering is a great way to really make a difference: it is challenging, rewarding, emotive, and above all it is an essential aspect of many worthwhile organisation's survival.  Organisations across the world are seeking volunteers and each year thousands of people undertake volunteer projects abroad so the scope and demand for work is endless.

Costs

Many people are put off the idea of volunteering abroad due to the perceived high cost but here at makemysummer.com we are committed to making volunteering more accessible by reducing the costs involved in the organisation of your placement. A large part of the volunteer experience is fundraising and each applicant is encouraged to raise the required funds through traditional fundraising activities such as sponsored activities, charity raffles and organised quiz nights.

Any costs associated with our summer experiences are clearly identified so that you can see exactly what you are spending your money on and any fees paid directly to makemysummer.com is in return for a tangible service that you will benefit from directly. We always offer a choice for how much support you want to receive from us so you have more control over how much you pay.
