A fulfilling, transformative, enlightening opportunity!

My experience with UBELONG has been overwhelmingly positive. As a student, I don’t have a huge budget, and from my research into other volunteer opportunities I know that UBELONG keeps costs incredibly low. From my experiences as a UBELONG volunteer, I know that this low cost comes with a high quality experience. UBELONG supported me before, during, and after my adventure, providing plenty of information, open lines of communication, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. At the same time, though, I had plenty of flexibility to ensure that my volunteer trip aligned with my personal goals and interests.One of my favorite aspects of UBELONG is their general approach to volunteering abroad. As someone with a keen interest in sustainability issues, I understand that we can’t progress as a planet without valuing all cultures and ways of life. I really appreciate that UBELONG’s volunteering approach is non-intrusive, respecting local norms and knowledge; I felt that, as a volunteer, I participated in a holistic process, working with local organizations toward environmental goals that benefit everyone. This type of atmosphere made my experience all the more fulfilling, transformative, and enlightening. I would not hesitate to volunteer with UBELONG again!
