FAQs
What does the volunteer schedule look like?
Bali is a tropical paradise and it can get real hot out here! So unlike most volunteer programmes, you won’t be working 8 full hours a day. Participants usually work 4 hours a day, although this can vary based on project work and location, and typically from Monday to Friday. You’ll have plenty of time to explore during the week and weekends.
What should I bring?
Bali is a tropical paradise located less than 600 miles (1000 km) south of the equator. It can get extremely hot and humid with heavy storms and downpours during the wet season, usually between November to April. We recommend clothing for a range of weather conditions including layers to protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes. It can also get chilly at night near the mountain top or when riding on a scooter during the evening. It’s important to bring sunscreen and a hat, which you can also buy here. In terms of footwear, we recommend flip flops and sneakers. It’s not necessary to bring boots or rain boots as it can be quite hot in them, but it’s up to you.
How long should I stay?
There is a minimum stay of one week, but we recommend at least one month so you have the chance to experience a variety of projects that we’re working on (and so you have the chance to visit all the beautiful places of Bali). You can choose to extend your trip with us while you’re here, and you can stay as long as you like.
