Your Fee
Why Pay to Volunteer?
Why are we charging fees for our volunteers to participate in Africa? At first glance it may seem crazy to pay to volunteer in any program. However, after careful consideration of the actual costs involved within the program…it actually makes sense. Please keep in mind that these programs exist because of the financial support of our volunteers:
Your fees contribute to covering the costs of hosting you in Africa. (Some of these costs include providing you with food, housing and transportation, in addition to many other things.)
SaveAfricaNow also has experienced and professional facilitators. This support system also provides for volunteer preparation, training, transporting, housing, feeding, and supervising which is not cheap. Additional expenses include health care, re-entry services and much more, which also increases the cost of the program.
Other significant cost factors include the volunteer recruitment process, production of literature, training materials, phone calls and follow-up, sending mailings, website development, as well as, interviewing potential volunteers. Ultimately, volunteering as a Task Force Team member is really a labor of love.
