If you ever get the chance to embark on a volunteer program with WF, go for it! I learned so much about Iceland, how they are working to become a true green country, about the wild nature and this all at the same time I got to meet volunteers from literally all around the world. I can't express how happy and grateful I will forever be. Victoria and Toti are super chill, easy going leads to learn from! Thank you so much!

I'll be forever grateful for this opportunity. The workdays, facilities & food were 10/10. The people behind WF work very hard to create a + environmental impact, always w/ deep care for human sensitivity & integrity. Toti & Victoria clearly understand that environmental education & awareness are the only real ways to plant seeds of contagious change in the short term, & they do so in the kindest way a volunteer who's alone & far from everything familiar can be treated: w/ warmth, active listening, dialogue & respect. I totally recommend embarking on this adventure & I plan to return soon!

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing this experience was. We stayed in a sustainable community and our task was working in the greenhouse, super fun and great learning experience. But the best part was being able to connect with the community of icelandic people living there, it felt like a big family! Also had the opportunity to meet other volunteers from across the world and learn from their culture too! We felt welcomed from the first moment we arrived, thanks to the person in charge, Victoria. We didn't wanted to leave and hope we are able to come back!

First of all, thank you Victoria for this experience. I'm happy to have come, but I agree with Jimena's comment. I think I spent 10% of my time doing the tasks that were in the contract. Communication in the NGO still has something to be desired. We are often informed in the morning or the evening before what needs to be done the next day. Victoria was a very good, attentive, and gentle listener; she's an amazing woman, but I think she's overwhelmed by the work we entrust to her. I still had a good experience thanks to the people I met, but I wouldn't recommend it either.

I had a disappointing experience with this volunteer program in Iceland. My one-month commitment ended after two weeks due to the organization's lack of professionalism. I was promised a camp leader role, but upon arrival, my activities were changed and never aligned with the signed agreement, despite three follow-ups. The project manager, Victoria, failed to fulfill commitments, and communication was poor. Temporary housing was overcrowded with 11 people, one shower, and two toilets in a space meant for five. Many volunteers shared frustrations about the disorganization. I don't recommend it.

I cannot be more grateful and happy about volunteering for the community! By the time I asked to stay only one month in Iceland, I was responsible for logistic and car driving, whereas volunteers staying for longer periods are usually camp leaders. The WF camps around Iceland are very special and in stunning locations. It is very easy to socialize with other volunteers. Some flexibility is required but in general you have enough free time and some days off for personal trips. The project manager Victoria is very easygoing and she always tries to plan the program considering your needs.

Iceland is an amazing country, I enjoyed a lot the nature and also had the chance to practice my english and share a lot of hours in group. I met incredible people. Thank you for the learning and the opportunity to be there.

Me gustaría agradecer por este experiencia, a Toti y Victoria que siempre estuvieron pendientes de mi. También a los líderes de campamento Rene y Hanna motivando las actividades. Qué decir de Solheimar una de las mejores cosas que me pudieron pasar, una eco village donde apoyé en un invernadero aprendiendo de Pablo el encargado del invernadero, ahí aprendí bastante de cómo plantar y cuidar un invernadero. Me llevo cosas muy bonitas de los lugares que visite. Amistades para siempre y comida de 10. Muchas gracias.
