- Romania
About Program
Romania has a lot to offer. Stalactite caves, dreamy farming villages, green hilly country.
"Transylvania" is known mainly from books and movies about vampires. It is an insider tip for people who want to discover something special. Untouched nature in the middle of Europe, wild animals like bears and wolves, and historical castles, fortresses and churches in the middle of medieval towns.
Romania is a real insider tip and not yet overrun with tourists. The inhabitants are friendly and known for their hospitality and fun-loving nature. They like to show you their country or invite you for dinner.
In our RGV projects you can help these warm-hearted people. Get involved in the everyday life of an NGO, various school projects, or take care of people with disabilities. In summer there is a camp for children with various activities, competitions and games. You can also work in a community garden and learn about agriculture or give love and care to homeless dogs.

At this eco-friendly agriculture project in Romania, your support is needed to help local people create a beautiful community garden, maintain it, grow it and make it thrive, as many people here don't have the opportunity to grow a garden. Join us and be their green hero! Besides that, you can also help with local projects with an agricultural background.
Since there is only the project presented here in the target region, which takes care of people with disabilities and it suffers from a lack of staff, your volunteer work here is particularly valuable and useful. You will help people who do not have it easy to prepare the way to an independent life. In this way, you will further expand your social and empathic skills, which will also be very useful in your everyday life.
In this project you will take care of homeless dogs, train them and help them to find a new home. You don't need any special skills, only your commitment is important. You are there for them, take care of them and walk them. The goal is to find loving homes for the dogs. So they need positive social experiences to be adopted.
Give children from 7 to 15 years an unforgettable and colorful summer full of adventures and support a summer camp in Romania. Your help and that of other international volunteers is most welcome! The children and teenagers are encouraged to discover and develop their passion for sports, music and theater. Equally important is to motivate the children to learn English.
