COSTS?


Costs vary depending on the project that you are interested in and the length of time you wish to travel. Flights & insurance must be booked through USIT as part of any work, volunteer or teach abroad programme. For further information please email: volunteer@usit.ie.


WHERE DOES MY PROGRAMME FEE GO?


The project fee doesn’t just pay for your project placement, it also provides you with support and services throughout your trip, accommodation and most meals, airport transfers and transport to your project and sightseeing tours on your orientation.


In some cases, a part of your fee will go to the project you join as well, allowing staff to purchase materials or pay salaries to local, full-time workers.


For most homestay projects, your fee also pays for your room and board, allowing your host family to meet your needs without straining their own budget.We also use part of your fee to maintain the service we provide to you pre-departure and it allows us to continue sourcing meaningful placements and developing vibrant relationshipswith our partner organisations in developing countries.


THE SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERING


It is important to recognise that volunteering overseas is not the same experience as a beach holiday. It is hopefully a full and rich experience but it also demands a lot from those who choose to volunteer. There is usually an adjustment period during which you may feel a bit overwhelmed and even uncomfortable. That’s okay! At USIT,we ask you to think carefully about why you want to volunteer and respect that volunteering will not find you in a 5* resort. But that is part of the adventure! Volunteering is not a static itinerary and plans can change so we ask that you are flexible. If you allow it, the global village promises to be a more engaging experience than you can imagine.
