How Volunteering Works
From finding a project to going home, we have made a 7 step guide for everything you will do with Concordia's International Volunteering.
Step 2: Fill out application form
Through the project finder tool, you'll fill out the application form and we'll match you to the charity host's project/s you have applied to.

Step 3: Pay your project fee
During your application, you'll pay an organisation fee of £250. Concordia uses this fee to secure your placement on the volunteering project and organise it with the host charity. Once the fee is paid you will also get full access to our dedicated team to help prepare you for your trip.
This will be refunded if your application is unsuccessful.
Step 4: Receive expert guidance
Once your application is successful, you will get access to our training programme and have one of our Volunteer members to prepare you for an amazing experience. They will be able to answer any question you have and ensure you complete the pre-departure questionnaire.

Step 6: Make a change abroad
Training? Completed. Flights? Booked. Payments? Made. You've completed everything you set out to do and you should feel proud. Now it's time to go out and change the world!
​
Once you've made it to the designated meeting point in your preparation pack, the local charity will welcome you and be your main point of contact, but you will still have access to our Volunteering team via phone or email if you ever need to.
Step 7: Return home
Volunteering isn't a one off project, it's a life experience.
​
We get great feedback from volunteers for the enjoyment and ease of their time abroad. Spreading the word about the work you've done is how we help others find out about this amazing opportunity. Feel free to share your story with us or tag us on Instagram, '@concordiacharity'.
