Yearoutindia, Volunteer Travel & Discover

Prices for individual programs vary based on number of volunteers on site and project needs. On an average a 4 week all inclusive placement fee is between GBP £550 - £650 (USD $875-$1050) in Nov 2011. Once the actual project costs are worked out, a portion of this fees is given back to the volunteer to spend directly on the project. Yearoutindia cost based fees are by far the most fair & inclusive of any volunteer placement by any organisation in India. We are a not-for-profit volunteer run volunteering organisation and very different from the many other commercial gap year companies. Please contact a volunteer coordinator for a detailed fee/cost breakdown. Volunteers are encouraged to fundraise for these projects if they can.

Yearoutindia Programs fees and costs are still amongst the most reasonable / lowest rates available compared to other multinational volunteering companies. Yearoutindia has strived to keep costs as low as possible for our volunteers so as to ensure maximum financial contribution to the actual programs directly at the grass root level.

We are a volunteer run volunteering organisation (All coordinators around the world volunteer their time to run the organisation) and volunteer fees directly fund all our projects, volunteers and the organisation. Any changes in the value of the Indian rupee directly affects the amount of funds available for our project sites.

Our admin costs are very low and all our coordinators around the world are ex-volunteers who volunteer their time and services to run this organisation for free. All additional resources are shared directly with the host organisations and YOI projects through the active consent and participation of the volunteers themselves. Please read the FAQ for details of our program fee/cost breakdown.

The constant fluctuation in the currency values have forced us to make regular changes to the fees, please contact your coordiantor for exact project fees before applying. We will use the value of Indian Rupees against the Pound, Dollar and Euro to make adjustments to the program fees.
