Long-term volunteering (LTV) projects provide the chance to contribute as a volunteer for a period of 3 to 12 months (ideally a minimum of 5 months). During this time, volunteers have the opportunity to be a vital part of the intercultural hub in SEEDS, to develop or improve personal and professional skills, work on their communication skills and improve their level of English. These projects also provide opportunities to create long-lasting and meaningful bonds between volunteers, staff, short-term volunteers and locals, sometimes creating friendships that last long after the volunteering period has ended.
Every year we host a number of long-term volunteers, some join SEEDS with the support of funding schemes, like the ESC (European Solidarity Corps), Erasmus+, etc. Other volunteers join us without any formal funding scheme. For information on details and opportunities, please contact us via email to mobility@seeds.is
The most common roles for long-term volunteers are:
- Photography Camp Leader - minimum stay 5 months
- Environment Camp Leader - minimum stay 5 months
- Public Relations (PR) & Communications Volunteer - minimum stay 3 months
- Logistics & Operations Volunteer - minimum stay 3 months, open call throughout the whole year
You can find the description of the roles here.
Currently, we are looking for a Logistics & Operations Volunteer.
If you are enthusiastic about joining SEEDS Iceland and hold a valid driver's license, we welcome applications throughout the year for this role. The placement period is flexible and can be arranged to suit both you and SEEDS Iceland, although a minimum commitment of three months is preferred. As a Logistics & Operations Volunteer, your main responsibility will be providing transportation for volunteers and supporting the smooth running of our daily activities. This role is particularly suited to people who enjoy driving and are proactive, adaptable, and punctual with a practical, solution-oriented approach to everyday tasks. The position is available either through an Erasmus+ internship (please check with your university whether you are eligible for an Erasmus+ grant) or as an independent volunteer. Independent volunteers are responsible for covering their own travel and insurance costs, while SEEDS Iceland provides accomodation and meals throughout the placement.
We look forward to hear from you!
