Why volunteer with us

You are not a tourist with a whistle. You are staff.

We run sports projects, we do not sell holidays. Most of our projects were founded by us and are led by a coordinator we know personally. You join a local coaching team, get a weekly schedule, and coach kids who would otherwise have no organized sports at all.

Everything is in English, you never work alone, and before you book a flight you speak with the coordinator who will pick you up at the airport.

  • No application fee, no deposit
  • Projects we founded ourselves
  • Video call with your coordinator first
  • Airport pickup and orientation
  • Housing with other volunteers
  • Personal pre-departure dashboard
  • Group chat before you leave
  • Free The Power of Sports shirt

How it works

From first call to first practice in four steps

1

Intro call

Tell us about your sport, your dates and what you want to get out of it. We tell you honestly which project fits.

2

Meet your coordinator

Before you book a flight you speak with the person who will welcome you on arrival, and with a former volunteer if you like.

3

Pre-departure

Your personal dashboard walks you through visas, vaccinations, packing and insurance. A group chat connects you with everyone traveling at the same time.

4

Land and coach

Airport pickup, orientation, your weekly schedule, and the first practice within days. Weekends are yours.

Good to know

Questions we hear most

Do I need coaching experience or a certificate?

No. You support local coaches and never work alone. Basic knowledge of the rules of your sport and lots of enthusiasm are what matter.

How long can I go?

From 4 weeks up to several months. Most volunteers go for 4 to 12 weeks; Curaçao and South Africa have discounted rates for 10, 12 and 16 weeks.

What does it cost and what is included?

Four weeks ranges from $985 (Indonesia, Nepal) to $1,595 (Saint Lucia). Housing, your coordinator, airport pickup, orientation and a group chat are always included; meals vary per country and are listed on each page. There is no application fee or deposit.

Is it safe, and will I be alone?

You live with other volunteers and interns, you have a coordinator on site, and we have run these projects for years. We tell you honestly what to expect before you decide.

Can I go with a friend or partner?

Yes. Mention it in your application and we place you together.

Do you accept volunteers from the US and Canada?

Yes. Our programs run in English and welcome participants from all countries. Entry requirements differ per destination; we advise you after the intro call.
