My time at Upcycle 4 Better was amazing! This was by far the most luxurious volunteer experience I've had. The volunteers were all very friendly and kind, and Joe was always ready to help and light up the room. The food was incredible, I learned a lot, and I truly enjoyed my time there. One of the best volunteers I ever done!

Volunteering here was such an amazing experience. I really felt like I was part of something meaningful — learning so much about sustainability and the textile industry along the way. My main role was growing UB4 social media, but I also loved helping out during tours, classes, and brainstorming new ideas with the team. Living there was super comfortable, and the food cooked for us was just incredible. I honestly couldn't recommend this place more — it's the perfect opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of a project with a truly inspiring mission.

I really enjoyed being a volunteer at the community and helping to set up the programme here! This mostly involved working on a laptop in an office-like environment, but there were also plenty of engaging activities integrated into the volunteering time (e.g., to learn about textile recovery and upcycling and also Malaysian culture and language). The other volunteers were lovely, we had a lot of fun together. The accommodation was very comfortable - I felt safe and they were able to accommodate for a vegan diet. The staff team and host are kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the programme!

I'm truly glad for being part of this project, it helped to develop environment awareness and understand more about the textile industry. It changed my mindset regarding consumption. It was a pleasure helping with the school tours. The accomodation is incredibly comfy, spacious and neat, full of amenities. Nora cooks delicious meals! ☺️ Location isn't good for walking, as it's near the port, but a car is provided (international DL is required). We even did day trips to KL, Port Dickson & Malacca, besides exploring the nearby area. The locals & team are kind and welcoming. I recommend the community! ♻️

I had a really good time in Klang! All the people I met were amazing and kind - we had so much fun with the other volunteers and also with the staff working there. The accommodation feels very luxurious, especially after having stayed at hostels for a while (Nora, the private cook, definitely contributes to that). Since the program is still getting developed a big part of the work was finding structures and strategies that work well. This was challenging to figure out but also had big learning potential in terms of program development as well as general business development.

Experience in U4B was unique and informative. All office and factory employees were very welcoming and helped me as a volunteer, I am grateful to them for all the support and patience ❤️ I met amazing volunteers from different countries with which we had fun. I learned a lot about the recycling and upcycling of textiles. Separately, I would like to thank Barry for a beautiful place for volunteers, it is very simple and cozy and Nora for delicious dishes. I recommend to all volunteers you will spend time unforgettable and useful. I hope that I will be able to return again as soon as possible 😊

It was life changing experience for me. It was first volunteering program for me at the WorldPackers, and I'm really happy to start my journey with U4B. I met a lot of people here and became friends with them. We worked together, rested together, explored the KL together, and created special memories. The staff were friendly and supportive, I'm very grateful for our work days. My deeply thanks from bottom of my heart for Nora's food and hospitality. For others volunteers: place is safe and comfortable, food is tasty and could be easily managed with your diet, people are nice and friendly! 💖🫂

The accommodation & food is great! The program is developing and it is fun to build it together with other volunteers. The local staff are also very helpful. I'd recommend U4B for volunteers to join.

The entire experience exceeded my expectations! I loved getting to spend time with the host, with other travelers and with the team in the office. I got to learm and experience things that I couldn't have imagined for myself when signing up. The program is still in its writing stages, so what I experienced wasn't the envisioned bolunteer experience, but I can say with confidence that once the program is written it will be an even more enriching and exciting opportunity. I fels welcome at all times and they were extremely accommodating to my dietary restrictions. I would recommend 100%

Uma das melhores experiencias que tive voluntariando!! A equipe é maravilhosa e super amigável, tive dias de muito aprendizados durante o voluntariado e pude me conectar um pouco com a cultural local, conhecendo mais sobre a comida local, idioma e etc.. A experiencia é muito valida! e recomendo muito!! Em alguns dias recebemos escolas na fabrica com varias crianças, fizemos karaokê e nos divertimos muito! Agradeço muito ao Joe e a toda a equipe por proporcionar essa experiencia!! Espero ver vocês numa próxima!!
