Volunteer Application Form

  • About You

  • DD slash MM slash YYYY
  • Accepted file types: jpg, jpeg, Max. file size: 5 MB.
    Please upload a clear photo of yourself, which tells us something about you. One without sunglasses, big hats, fake beards, please, we’d like to see your face! If it is a group photo, tell us which one is you. The photo should be in jpeg format and less than 5MB in size.
  • Are you planning to carry out some fundraising to cover the costs of your placement, prior to your departure? Please tell us more about what kind of events you would like to hold or participate in and what kind of support you require from Ecologia to organise these.
  • A few formalities

    So that we can place you in the most suitable village for your individual needs, please tell us:
  • Referees

    Please supply contact details for two referees who are not family members, close friends, or your peers. At least one should be a teacher or employer (former or current). Supervisors, tutors, youth/sports club leaders, or university lecturers would also be ideal.
  • Referee 1
  • Referee 2
  • Your Background

    Please answer all the following questions. Your answers will not prejudice your successful application as a volunteer.
    This includes epilepsy, diabetes or other physical disability.
  • Introduce yourself

    The following questions are a guideline to help you to introduce yourself to our partners. They want to get a feeling for you as a person, so write as freely and informally as you can. Before Ecologia Youth Trust can approve your application to volunteer, our partner needs to see your introduction and give us their approval. It is both a courtesy to them and a reassurance for our volunteers so that you know our partner welcomes you before you commit yourself.
  • If you heard about us via a Google ad or through a search engine, please let us know the name of the website where you saw our listing.
  • Adaptability

    These 20 Questions are as much for you to assess your own adaptability, as they are relevant to us. Be honest with yourself!

    On a scale of 1-5 (1-not at all, 5-very much) would you say you are:

  • These 20 Questions are as much for you to assess your own adaptability, as they are relevant to us. Be honest with yourself, and if you answered 1 more than 3 times, we seriously suggest you re-consider whether volunteering is the right choice for you.

    If you are, on average, unsure but open and willing to try, (mostly 2 – 4) you will find your place at one of our projects and be happy there.

    If you are all 5’s you are either a saint or deluding yourself!!
