Volunteer Process
Each program and tourism experience is individually tailored to your interests, skills and time frame.
If you aren't sure what you can do as a volunteer or want to create a "family friendly" experience, contact us to discuss the possibilities. We are confident that we can fit you into a helpful and rewarding volunteer experience!
How to sign up:
1. Review the volunteer and ecotourism options in which you are interested.
2. Contact us to express your interest.
3. Once you have contacted us, we will help you explore and set up a program and ecotourism option(s) that best suits your interests and skills.
4. $300 Project Initiation - A non-refundable, tax-deductible fee is collected upon your commitment to the project.
5. You will then be put in contact with the local and program coordinators to customize and define what you will be doing and to make your experience the most rewarding and useful it can be.
Additional Information:
Q. What and where do you recommend that the volunteers get their visas. What if they will be in Tanzania greater than a month's time? Can we get by with tourist visas instead of a volunteer visa?
A. The visa forms are available here:
http://www.tanzaniaembassy-us.org/visa/visa.html
(We recommend once you have filled the form, mail all documents to the second address in the site. They are quicker and more efficient.
THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS,
201 EAST 42ND STREET, SUITE 1700,
NEW YORK, NY, 10017)
For shorter duration, tourist visa will be sufficient.
