Project Costs
Unless otherwise stated, the VFP registration fee is US $300 per project (regardless of project length) plus the mandatory VFP annual membership of US $30. The registration fee covers all your expenses including meals and accommodation for one project. You will automatically have your VFP Membership renewed in for any report that we receive about your project experience within 30 days after your project ends.
"I feel like the cost is so reasonable, and the experience you get out of it is completely worth every penny."

In developing countries, there are additional fees (also known as the Partner Organization Fee) payable upon arrival that vary depending on the hosting organization. These extra fees are typical in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the developing world in general. These fees tend to vary from $100 - $500 USD. Please note that this extra fee may vary by up to $25 higher or lower, depending on the value of the US Dollar versus the currency of the country you are going to, so please be prepared to make up the difference. At present, the value of the US dollar is decreasing in the world market. For the most recent conversions please visit www.xe.com.
The extra fee is used in support of the partner organization’s work, including administration of programs as well as organizing workcamps. In many cases, this extra fee is the ONLY form of financial support for the organization, since they have limited access to government or private funds, or members who can pay a fee to participate.
VFP offers a report refund of $50 in most situations where volunteers have to pay an extra fee.
All transportation is arranged and paid for by the volunteer.
Please note that if you are registering for more than one project, you must include the registration fee for each project (i.e. 2 projects x $300= $600). Don't schedule consecutive projects too closely. A few days between projects provides the necessary time to "re-group" emotionally from the intense friendships, sad goodbyes and gives you time to rest up before beginning a new project.
VFP uses Authorize.net for all credit
card processing from this page. Your payment transactions are totally secure
