The service provided is a direct matchmaking platform. If a volunteering program interests you, you must contact the organization that runs it directly. To do so, simply click on the “Contact the partner” button and fill out the form. The partner organization will receive your request and get back to you.
You book directly with the partner organization
After contacting the partner via the form, they will respond to you and handle your booking. Payment is made directly to the partner organization.
The matchmaking service provided by Eco-volontaire is free for users. The price of your participatory eco-travel is the same whether you use the platform or not.
Eco-volontaire’s partners have been carefully selected. They include associations, NGOs, non-profit organizations, and agencies. Some partners offer multiple missions.
Eco-volontaire has chosen full transparency regarding its partners. When you fill out and submit the “Contact the partner organization” form, you receive an email indicating the name of the partner.
Eco-volontaire partners are carefully selected based on strict criteria of ethics, transparency, and environmental impact. The platform only works with NGOs, non-profit organizations, or agencies that are actively involved in biodiversity conservation and responsible ecotourism projects.
Some programs are eligible for tax reductions. This means that the NGO is able to provide you with a tax receipt for your donation. This tax receipt allows you to benefit from an income tax reduction of up to 66% of your volunteering fees in France.
Volunteering programs have a positive social and environmental impact. Eco-volontaire partners work directly on projects or select missions that contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This alignment with the SDGs covers various areas: citizen science, education, biodiversity conservation, wildlife protection, waste management, permaculture, community projects, and more. Part of the fee paid by volunteers helps support the host organization and contributes to a virtuous cycle.
