CouchSurfing + International Volunteering = The Experience of a Lifetime

Dreaming of volunteering abroad? You probably have two major questions - What will I do, and how will I afford it? We've got you covered on the first question with over 12,000 volunteer opportunities listed from Australia to Zambia.

More than just a free place to crash, the CouchSurfing experience is all about creating "deep and meaningful connections that cross oceans, continents and cultures." What's better than that?

If you live in New York and you want to learn more about how you can use Idealist and CouchSurfing to make your dreams come true while meeting fellow wanderlusters, globetrotters and do-gooders and enjoying free food, come to our Volunteer Abroad Happy Hour at Revival on Thursday, April 10th. Don't forget to RSVP here. See you there!
