We ask the volunteers to make sure that their travel is compatible with the most recent recommendations of health authorities with regards to the spread of the Corona virus. In case you are travelling from or recently travelled through a higher risk area, please check the health recommendations of the country where the project takes place, as restrictions may apply (e.g. ban, quarantine, isolation). We will take the necessary health precautions for our projects, but please contact your sending organisation to get more information in case you have any concerns.
UNA Exchange provides opportunities for young people from Wales and the rest of the UK to have incredible experiences volunteering abroad, whether in Europe, Asia, Africa or the Americas. International volunteering provides amazing opportunities for personal development by building new skills and delivering experiences that enrich lives while making participants more attractive to future employers Most importantly for us, though, volunteering is a way of promoting peace and intercultural understanding between people of different backgrounds. By coming together and working as part of an international team on a local community project or with a non-profit organisation, volunteers can learn about different cultures, attitudes and ways of living and these interactions help to break down prejudice and discrimination and encourage cooperation and mobility. We offer a range of pathways into international volunteering which are summarised below (follow the links to find out more). If you have any questions about any aspect of volunteering please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]Workcamps
