Long-term Volunteer

 

SEEDS Icelandic Experience

 

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.

The most common roles for long-term volunteers are:

  1. Photography Camp Leader
  2. Environment Camp Leader
  3. Public Relations (PR) & Communications Volunteer
  4. Logistics & Operations Volunteer

You can find the description of the roles here.

*Note that we are currently only accepting applications for the position of Logistics & Operations.

We will not be opening calls for the other long-term volunteering roles in 2024.
