Climate Change & Environmental Protection in Iceland

The volunteer camps in Iceland are located in different regions: Northwest Hrutafjordur (2 hours by car from the capital Reykjavik), Northern Siglufjörður (5 hours by car from Reykjavik), and Western Krýsuvík (40 minutes by car from Reykjavik). Near Krýsuvík, you'll find many pristine and untouched natural environments, geothermal landscapes, and in the Northwest, the nearest town is Hvammstangi, which has a supermarket, health center, swimming pool, and a camping site by the cliffs. In the North, the area boasts spectacular natural beauty with awe-inspiring mountains and fjords. Outdoor activities and relaxation opportunities are almost endless.

No matter which camp you're assigned to (which you can choose based on personal preference), volunteers have the chance to travel to other parts of Iceland, including glaciers, waterfalls, strong rivers, canyons, and volcanic craters, during weekends. The goal of this project is to protect the natural landscapes and raise awareness about sustainable development among both locals and future visitors to the area.

What our volunteers say about us

This summer is unique. The enthusiasm, adorability, and eagerness to learn of the children in Bali deeply touched us. We enjoyed the entire process of volunteer teaching, laughing, and being joyful just like them, and were deeply moved. Love knows no borders; we helped plant the seeds of English in their hearts, and their smiles made our youth shine brilliantly and beautifully.

Bali

In just two weeks, I dined with the natives, shared watermelon with monkeys, swam in a lake with crocodiles, and lived under the same blue sky with elephants and humble villagers. I still remember the clear eyes of the local little girl. My trip ended with reluctance, and as I was leaving, a young boy said to me 'see you again.' I quickly got into the car, thinking to myself, 'I will come back to see you all.
