Sobre o programa

During the six weeks, you will travel to Discover  Iceland! Starting at Krýsuvík. Afterward, you will head to BRÚ. Finally, visit the charming town of Siglufjörður


Krýsuvík


Work

The aim of the project is to develop Local, Organic, and Sustainable Agriculture. The main work of this camp will be to take care of the land, in various ways. Working closely with the local associations our tasks will depend on the season. 


Location

Close by is the lake Kleifarvatn. It is the largest lake of the Reykjanes Peninsula (8 km²) and one of Iceland’s deepest lakes (97 m). There is no river feeding its water, all of it comes and goes from underground.

The landscapes surrounding are astonishing. Walking around the park is a very special experience. There are boiling hot springs, mud bubbles, and hissing steam is forced out of the earth from geothermal vents. 

Kleifarvatn is popular for hiking, fishing, or watching birds. Surrounding it is a trail to take a walk and enjoy the beautiful and ever-changing colors of the landscape.


Accommodation

Participants will be staying in the house of Worldwide Friends. The house is approximately 600 m² and has 10 rooms for 3 to 4 people each. A fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms, and common areas. House capacity 30.



BRÚ


Work

The main activity is Beach Cleaning. Beyond the sheer tonnage of trash removed, and probably more importantly, we feel that cleanups are the gateway for volunteers and people from all walks of life to become aware of the issue and feel empowered to take action in their own way. Some days, when the weather conditions are not suitable, we will focus on renovation work; painting or fixing things around and inside the house. 


Location

Keep in mind that is a 1-hour drive to the closest city (Borganes). Based just off the main road, we are not set in a town, therefore the only way to get around is by car. Brú's stunning surrounding countryside offers the perfect tonic to relax and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Around the house, you can find a lot of pure and unspoiled nature, waterfalls, rivers, canyons, and craters. The purpose of the center is to protect nature in the area and to raise awareness of sustainability among the locals and the visitors who are coming to the area.


Accommodation

Volunteers will be staying in the house of Worldwide Friends in Brú. The house is approximately 500 m² and has 12 double rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms, common areas, workshop rooms, and galleries. House capacity 24


Siglufjörður


Work

Our main activity is Forestry working with the Icelandic Forestry Association. Working closely with the local associations our tasks will depend on the needs of the local community and the season. 


Location

Siglufjörður is along with the community of Ólafsfjörður a part of The Municipality of Fjallabyggð, which came into being when the two communities were merged in 2006. 

The closeness to nature is always within reach, whether you wish to go on a hike, play golf, try ocean swimming or go skiing. The birdlife is varied, with some 2,000 birds of 16 to 18 species usually be found in the fjord, particularly in summer.


Accommodation

Volunteers will be staying in the house of Worldwide Friends. The house is approximately 300 m² and has 2 big dormitory rooms for 8 people each, 2 double rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms, and common areas. House capacity 15.


Workshops

Workshops will take place in the late afternoon. Our main focus during the project will be on Global Warming and how to prevent it. Throughout a series of different workshops, the goal is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the projects’ participants. Take part in this promising project and spring into action against climate change!


Participants Age

We host international volunteers, and most of our participants are between 18 to 25, however, we don't have a maximum age limit.

Camp leaders

There is always one or more leaders for each camp, depending on the size of the group. Leaders represent the link between the hosting community and the group of volunteers. They coordinate the work, organize leisurely activities, plan excursions, and organize the shopping, house chores, and cooking sessions. Apart from these additional responsibilities, they are equal to other volunteers. Most of our camp leaders are from other countries, as we are very open-minded in hosting international leaders from other organizations

The areas around the houses are great for hiking. Plan ahead, share your travel plans, stay on the trail, properly dispose of waste, leave areas as you found them, and do not approach or feed wildlife. You should not go for high or steep mountains without a professional guide.

WF Iceland will organize reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights, such as waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava forests, hot springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam vents, and even icebergs;

We will focus on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening a volunteer from a different country will be in charge of presenting their country of origin and culture in an informal way. It can be a presentation, a game, or theatrical – the form of introduction is up to you! Therefore, we encourage you to bring along some food, photos, or anything interesting related to your country for a fun and informative evening amongst other volunteers. There will be cultural dinners where volunteers prepare typical dishes from their country and share it with the groups. Bring any traditional ingredients that you want to share.

- Who are we?

Worldwide Friends (WF) was founded in 2001 as a non-governmental, nonprofit organization. Our aim is to promote nature and peace-oriented activities among people interested in spending time in Iceland as volunteers. 
The staff of WF consists of 5 members: 
  • Our director and founder - Toti Ivarsson.
  • 4 project managers: Valentina, Steini, Bjarki, and Sebastian.
Alongside the staff members, we have long-term volunteers that are crucial for our programs.
- What we do:
The main activities offered by WF Iceland are workcamps, exchange programs, and educational seminars. Our activities are suitable for anyone interested in discovering an exotic and safe destination. WF also sends Icelanders abroad who wish to have similar volunteering experiences elsewhere in the world. Our programs are a mixture of volunteering, excursions, cultural exchanges,  environmental work, and environmental education.
- Where we work:
Worldwide Friends is located in one of the safest countries in the world, the land of Ice and Fire, Iceland. We work all over the country but mostly in the east and west of Iceland where we have our two main centers. We try to have a balance between outdoor work and indoor work but most of the time it depends on the weather.
- Our mission/vision:
  • Promoting peace and friendship
  • Promoting intercultural education and awareness
  • Preserving Icelandic nature and raising awareness about environmental issues
  • Promoting voluntary work and a culture of volunteering
- Our goal:
To be able one day to live in a sustainable society that respects and protects the environment.
- Who are we looking for?
The biggest requirement that we have is that our volunteers must be interested in the environment. If you like to work outdoors, explore exotic locations, discover unspoiled nature, have a cultural exchange with volunteers from different countries, and improve your environmental knowledge then we are looking for you!
- Why choose us?
When you choose us, you are making the decision to volunteer with one of the biggest and more experienced organizations in Iceland. We have hosted thousands of volunteers in all these years, which grants us the opportunity to offer you the best experience possible.

2023 at Let's get Sustainable - 6 Weeks on the move

I stayed with worldwide friends for two months and traveled across the island, living in three different camps. Each one was super unique and the tasks were quite different. From Greenhouse work to beach clean up. On the weekends we had lots of opportunities to check out the nature and go on ...
I'll start by saying I had the best experience in Iceland. I even returned later to the organization as a long-term volunteer for 7 more months because I enjoyed it so much. I went into it with no expectations, and I think that helped, because some people that arrived had a clear idea of what they ...
I am so happy that I did this program last year. The moment that I came to Iceland I felt like home. The volunteering work and the area that we visited were fantastic and so few humans around which made it more special for me. To be in nature in a small group of good people is ...
The two weeks that I spent in the East of Iceland were absolutely amazing. We were 21 volunteers from 13 nationalities and we had a great time during working hours and also in the free time. I am for sure coming back next year and I will stay for 6 ...
