Organizer: Worldwide Friends – Veraldarvinir 🏕

Activity dates – From 18/08/2025 to 27/02/2026

🌱 Project Description

The Worldwide Friends – Veraldarvinir  Camp leaders program in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland 🇮🇸 is all about boosting environmental awareness across the globe. 🌎 The main goal is to inspire both young locals and internationals to live sustainably in their everyday life. 🌿 Moreover, the project encourages fresh ideas that can help protect Mother Earth while empowering communities.

Camp Leaders will work as a team 🤝 under the guidance of the Project Manager. They will lead activities for short-term and long-term volunteers, who typically spend 5–7 hours on environmental work during weekdays. In addition, leaders will join nature-oriented, educational, and environmental protection projects across Iceland 🇮🇸. Typically, each volunteer group has 2–3 leaders from the organization, ensuring smooth coordination and support.

🏡 Accommodation, Food & Transport

During the Camp leaders program, volunteers will stay at the Worldwide Friends Sustainable Centre 🏠, which offers comfortable facilities including beds, bed sheets, and free Wi-Fi 📶. Rooms are shared by 2, 4, or 6 volunteers.

Furthermore, food ingredients are provided, and everyone shares cooking 👩‍🍳 and cleaning duties. Volunteers are even encouraged to bring their own recipes 🍲 and spices 🌶 from home to share cultural tastes. 🚐 Local transportation related to the project is also covered, making it easier for everyone to focus on the environmental mission.

📚 Training & Learning Opportunities

This experience is more than just volunteering—it’s a chance to learn, grow, and connect. By hosting ESC volunteers, the organization adds a valuable international perspective to its internship programs, educational tours, and short projects.

Consequently, participants will explore various environmental sustainability techniques 🌍, develop new skills, learn a new language 🗣, inspire young adults through creative workshops 🎨, and even design and implement their own project.

👤 Participant Profile

The Camp leaders program seeks motivated, independent, and eco-driven individuals 🌱 who can contribute practical ideas to fight climate change and promote green living. Since English is the main language in the camps 🇬🇧, good communication skills are essential.
