Book directly with the partner association

Once you have contacted the partner organization via the form, they will get back to you and take care of your booking. Payment is made to the partner organization.

The eco-volontaire connection service is free for users. The price of your eco-volunteer trip is the same whether or not you use the platform.

Ecovolunteer partners have been selected. They are associations, NGOs, non-profit organizations or agencies. Some partners offer several missions.

Eco-volontaire has chosen to be totally transparent about its partners. When you fill in and send the form "I contact the partner organization". You will receive an e-mail with the name of the partner.

Partners are subject to a verification process, involving interviews, regular contact, administrative checks, testing of missions by ecovolunteers or visits by professionals.

Some missions are eligible for tax relief. This means that the partner association or NGO is able to provide you with a tax receipt for your donation. This tax receipt entitles you to a tax reduction of up to 66% of the amount of your volunteer expenses, in France.

For example, if If your donation amounts to €2,000 - and you pay €3,000 in tax - you will deduct €1,320 from your tax bill.

Ecovolunteer missions, also known as eco-participatory trips, scientific trips... have a positive impact from both a social and ecological point of view. eco-volunteer partners work directly on projects or select missions that respond positively to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This response to the SDGs takes various forms: participatory science; education; biodiversity preservation; wildlife protection; waste management; permaculture; community projects... Part of the amount paid by volunteers is used to maintain the host structure, thus promoting a virtuous circle.
