Apply to become a Flores Volunteer!

WHAT DO YOU GET?

As a volunteer, you get free accommodation and food. In addition, we help you find the local resources that you need to realize your project. You will receive a contact person in Flores who will be your local host and you’ll become a part of an entire island community with good people. For some projects, we are able to help you with material cost or production through other funds, but since this is not a guarantee, you can´t base your application on that. Please contact us if you need advice setting up your application or talking through your idea.
