We receive volunteers every year at the beginning of March and in the middle of September. ALL the projects are, as indicated in table here below, for either 6 and/or 12 months. We do not have projects that start at other time, nor projects for shorter or longer period. You can click the name of the project to get a detailed project description. You can also see which projects have available places, and how many volunteers each project is hosting.
The next arrival dates are 4-5th of March 2009 and 16-17th September 2009 (for both 6 and 12 months projects).
The application deadline for volunteers wishing to commence in March, is 1st October (then we apply on 1st November deadline), whilst the application deadline for volunteers wishing to commence in September, is 1st March (then we will apply on the 1st April deadline).
