Volunteer World
Auf der Suche nach deinem Freiwilligendienst im Ausland? Kein Problem!
Volunteering has never been so easy – Volunteer World ist eine unabhängige Plattform, die Volontäre und Hilfsprojekte auf internationaler Ebene miteinander vernetzt und dadurch völlig neue Möglichkeiten in der Organisation internationaler Freiwilligendienste ermöglicht.
Überteuerte Agentur oder unendliche Suche?
Bis vor kurzer Zeit gab es zwei Möglichkeiten seinen Freiwilligendienst im Ausland zu organisieren – Buchen über eine Agentur oder unendliches Suchen auf unzähligen Internetseiten. Die Undurchsichtigkeit in der großen Anzahl an sozialen Hilfsprojekte auf der ganzen Welt hat die Suche nach seinem Wunschprojekt nicht einfacher gemacht.
Volunteer World- made for meaningful travel
Auf Volunteer World können Volontäre nun durch Filtern, wie Länder oder Tätigkeiten, mit ihren individuellen Präferenzen Hilfsprogramme auf der ganzen Welt miteinander vergleichen und so das passende Programm für sich finden.
Doch nicht nur die Filtersuche, sondern auch die hohe Transparenz von Preis, Serviceleistungen und Programmdetails vereinfacht die Suche nach seinem Wunschprogramm.
Überzeuge dich selbst von der Einfachheit und den neuen Möglichkeiten, die Volunteer World bietet: Einfach kostenlos registrieren und dein Wunschprogramm noch heute finden!
Definately not independent, as they depend on companies and agencies who register on the website. Also it is nothing new, there have been platforms around for ages: goabroad.com , gooverseas.com and MANY more.
“As they don’t have parents, we as volunteers become attachment figures very quickly“ a quote from an article advertised of this company. quote from:

Here is my review on their Facebook page:

Social start up needs more than the word social in it’s name:
The company deleted my critical non offensive comments and later the wole post as well as their advertisment. In addition they offer unregulated childcare programs.
The company and his co-founder spoke at the Socialbar Düsseldorf and shared his vision of a transparent and fair volunteer industry, therefore I have hope that we have similar interests. Generally, I rather do not support childcare programs that are unregulated. Police check are just not enough. VolunteerWorld asked me if I experienced their programs myself? I have not experienced their programs personally and I am sure many of them are great. Still, I can get a good view about some programs they offer by going through their website. Especially the placement I was pointing out concerned me. I already see it critical when I see that a company can advertises with a young volunteer that have a child in their hands. Also her dress in a tempel and as a teacher is inappropriate as well as the fact that she is teaching english and careing for children for a very short time. Also seeing in addition the amount of orphanage programs beeing offered without qualifications or articles about the harm it might cause makes me sceptical. Volunteers can do there: Feeding, teaching and playing with children. I hope in some way that the projects which make it on their page are monitored. But as I understand this is not happenning.
