How to Apply

    • Complete our Volunteers Introductory Questionnaire.
    • Your application will be sent to Kitezh or Orion to give them a sense of who you are and in case they have any questions about your application.
    • You will receive further information on what to expect and the costs involved.
    • Once your application has been accepted, you will be asked to call our office for a Skype or phone interview, to make sure you know what is expected of you, and what you can expect from being a volunteer.
    • Please do start to prepare for your volunteering experience at Kitezh-Orion at least 3 months before you plan to travel, as arranging visas and planning your visit all takes time.

We ask volunteers to arrive and depart at Domodedovo Airport, Moscow, on Wednesdays. The Kitezh minibus will meet you and take you directly to Kitezh or Orion. The journey takes 2 hours to Orion, and 5 hours to Kitezh.

Your 90 day visa allows you to stay for an extra few days in Moscow at the end of your volunteering period if you wish.

Contact us for more information about costs and our booking procedure.
