Step 1:

Complete the online booking form or drop us a mail requesting your particular chosen project area, or further information.

Step 2:

We will need a copy of your resume/CV, and tell us a bit about yourself and what you’d like to get out of your volunteer experience – the more we know about you, the easier it will be to match you with a perfect placement!

Step 3:

We will match you up with a project that fits in with your chosen travel dates - we may also offer some suggestions to enhance your trip (new projects etc).

Step 4:

You will be required to complete the full VM application form which we will e mail you to complete and return to us.

Step 5:

We’ll be asking you to submit other relevant documentation in support of your application – for example, certificates if you are applying for qualified positions. We will also expect our volunteers to provide a Police Report or Criminal Records check – if this is not possible or difficult to obtain from some countries, we will be obtain references for you.

Step 6:

On acceptance of your project, we will require you to pay a US$250 non refundable deposit. This is payable within 14 days of invoicing in order to guarantee your placement.

Step 7:

At least one month prior to your arrival, and once we have received all your completed documentation, we will confirm the island your placement will be (for much of the time we’ll inform you at the time of your booking confirmation) , and liaise with you to co- ordinate the best arrival dates and any other information pertaining to your specific project.

HOW TO PAY

As we’re based in the Maldives, some of the usual payment methods taken for granted elsewhere in the world are not available to us here in the Indian Ocean!

With ‘Paypal’ and online payments unavailable, we find our volunteers are comfortable making transfers directly from their bank to ours the safest and quickest method.

There is usually a small fee charged by your bank to cover the transfer costs and we’ll add this to your invoice at the time of booking so it is not overlooked.

Once you have committed to your chosen program, we will require immediate payment of the deposit, and dependant on the time scale prior to you coming out, full payment is required 60 days before hand. All relevant bank details will be shown on the invoice, and we’re always available to assist if you have any questions at all!
