What is the significance of volunteer travel?

Volunteer travel is divided into: ① volunteer experience officer ② youth travel volunteers.

1. Volunteer Experience Officer: Volunteer to join a certain group for free to complete an activity and help an object while traveling, so you should bear corresponding responsibilities while enjoying the trip.

2. Youth travel volunteers: labor is exchanged for accommodation, and most of them recruit volunteers from youth hostels and homestays.

Most volunteer experience officers will get a volunteer certificate when they end their trip. Through volunteer travel, they can meet some like-minded friends from all walks of life, expand their circle of friends, improve their personal learning ability and communication ability, and at the same time experience local human geography, customs and characteristics, and taste local food. Youth travel volunteers generally do not give certificates, but youth travel will give some rewards.

(PS: I am a youth travel volunteer here, and I went to the beautiful Pingtan Island in Fujian, the nearest island to Taiwan Province, where I can enjoy blue tears, which is very beautiful)

How to find places to recruit volunteers:

Some offline apps such as WeChat WeChat official account, Douban Group, Weibo and Xiaohongshu will have information about the inn where the store recruits volunteers. I found it on WeChat WeChat official account "Kangaroo Youth Volunteer Travel".

When communicating with the store, you should make sure that:

① Time for work and rest: Volunteers are not equal to complete coolies. In exchange for accommodation, you should have your own relaxation time to experience the local customs.

②. Accommodation conditions: Most homestays arrange staff dormitories, and there may be single rooms, so we can't accept the need to share rooms and communicate with the store.

③. Eating habits: confirm whether the diet in your hotel is right. The inn I went to was the owner of the Northeast, and there was no big difference in diet. )

④ Work content: When communicating with the store, make sure that the work content is beyond your ability. Most homestays do cleaning, making beds, entertaining guests and cooking, all of which are relatively easy.

Don't be too blind when you are volunteering. You should understand your own needs. If you are different from your expectations or are uncomfortable with each other, you should communicate with the store and end your trip as soon as possible.
