What are the best places to volunteer in Europe?

Europe is a vast continent, so you’ll have plenty of options to volunteer in Europe. In West Europe you can go to France, ride a bike in Holland or eat some classic Belgium fries. Or maybe you would like to have a beer in Germany, teach english in Poland, go see castles and amazing forests in Czech Republic and Hungary, enjoy the fine arts in Austria, or explore less visited countries like Slovenia. Europe is just as full of volunteer opportunities as it is worldwide famous museums and monuments. Pick your favourite!

What are the requirements to volunteer in Europe?

First, you’ll need a visa to volunteer in Europe with Worldpackers. Depending on your nationality, the period you’re allowed to stay will be different. So you have to check that before going, ok? Second, remember: minimum age to apply is 18. Also, keep in mind that volunteering is about cultural exchanges. In other words, you’re going to another country to learn and collaborate with the locals. It’s help, not labor. Always count on our support team to help in case you need it. And of course, enjoy every single day of your trip! :)
