Volunteer abroad with ICYE UK
Short-Term Volunteering
Ideally, we would want everyone to be able to enjoy the profound and wonderful learning experience of being immersed in another culture for a whole year. However, we also want those who are interested but are not currently able to dedicate that amount of time to volunteering to still have the opportunity to get a real taste of immersive intercultural learning. This is where our short-term programme comes in.
​
Just like our long-term volunteers, our short-term volunteers are placed in locally run projects abroad, live in accommodation in the community and receive extensive training and support from ICYE.
Where can I go and what can I do?
We currently offer short-term placements in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Nepal, and Tanzania.
​
Project options include wildlife conservation, eco-farms, teaching, supporting elderly populations, and more!
When can I go?
Our short-term programme offers flexible departure dates, so, as long as you leave enough time for the application and visa process, you can go when it suits your plans and availability. We recommend getting in touch with us to start your application 4 to 6 months before you wish to depart.
How long can I go for?
If you have between 3 and 5 months to dedicate to volunteering, you can take part in our short-term programme.
How do I apply?
The application process is much the same as it is for our long-term programme. Get in touch now at sending@icye.org.uk to find out more or to start your experience!
