Volunteer in Iceland while capturing the radiant beauty of the country! Be involved in Journalism and Photography!
The program will involve volunteers in creating and publishing a magazine promoting voluntarism, from interview topics, photo and video collaborations, editing, layout design and publishing. Volunteers will be exposed in all stages of magazine production and will be able to meet and visit different volunteer projects in Iceland.
A part of this project will concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening, a different country will cook for the rest of the group and will be in charge of presenting their culture and country of origin in a non formal way.
This project is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.

Volunteers needed to teach English.
Based on the volunteer’s skills and education, it is also possible to volunteer as teachers’ aid for subjects like Math, World History, Environment, Grammar, Science, etc. This project offers the opportunity for volunteers to assist students of Elementary Schools located in rural areas, where access to English teachers is limited.The volunteer work consists in teaching basic English and Environmental lessons in under-resourced rural schools from the Coast, Highlands and the Amazon. To those who have good level of Spanish, we offer to assist the children who have learning problems helping them in reading, writing, grammar, mathematics in the afternoons after school (mainly in the schools from the Coast). The schools do not have didactic materials for English lessons; volunteers are responsible to prepare these materials for the benefit of the schools, to prepare exams and evaluations, as well as, for each grade, a report about the students' achievements and goals must be given to the Principals of the schools.
