Cancellations/refunds

What happens if I cancel my placement?

If you cancel your trip/volunteering prior to actually commencing the placement there is no fee charged. Once you have begun your placement there is no refund possible, all funds are handed to the host family/project on arrival to placement and will not be refunded unless there is a significant reason (e.g. due to family illness you have to return to your home country). Please note that your intention to volunteer does mean that the local community will have prepared for you and budgeted outside their normal expenses to accommodate a western person.
