Ahh the things that tug on the heart - I walked into the centre this afternoon after a day shopping for building materials and one of our resident babies was really upset. I took her into my arms and she instantly lay her head on my shoulder and stopped crying. I guess babies know when they are loved and by whom they loved!  I love these moments.

Project teams - Annually

These are specific teams coming up to Vladivostok to run building projects, help with maintenance and miscellaneous other projects.


Other volunteer work - Anytime (conditions apply)

Due to the language barrier, there is often not a real opportunity for volunteers to be involved in the day to day functions of the centre or actual humanitarian aid work. However if you are a Russian language speaker or have skills you believe we may be able to use, outside of the teams above, please contact us.
For example; IT/computer networking skills, seamstress, security guard etc...


Long term volunteering

Due to Russian visa application law changes the maximum visa available is 3 months.
If you would like to be an ongoing volunteer, please be aware that you will be required under Russian visa requirements, to return your 'country of nationality' as shown on your passport for a minimum of three months at the end of your visit, before returning for another maximum 3 month period.

 

Language training

We ask all volunteers to consider undergoing some language training before arriving in Russia. Vladivostok is a difficult city to get around if you cannot read the alphabet or communicate basic phrases. Unlike other major international cities, English is not widely spoken in Vladivostok.

 

Volunteer application form

If you believe that this is something you would like to be involved in, please download and complete the application form, and post/email back to us. We will be in contact with you shortly afterward.
