At Freepackers, we place great importance on transparency, which is why we explain here how programs are selected to match you 100%. Since every person is unique, our proposals are just as unique: our programs are not random but are based on specific criteria that we detail in this article.
Adapting the selection of programs is a real commitment. We have designed a personalized selection approach so that each person can find the learning experience that suits them best.
A personalized selection offers several advantages:
By guiding you toward a suitable project, we guarantee you a rewarding and motivating experience.
This reduces the risk of disappointment, both for NGOs and for participants. The organization then welcomes motivated volunteers with the right skills.
All Freepackers programs actively contribute to projects with real impact. You take part in a project aligned with your values and interests: ecology, social development, human rights advocacy, etc.
The results? Strong partnerships and a successful immersion for volunteers!
Here are the criteria taken into account to guide you toward the project that truly matches you, based on in-depth discussions with our volunteers.
Studies and degrees matter, but volunteering, work, and personal projects are also considered—every experience is valued. You will take part in missions where you can apply and develop all your skills while making a real impact.
A call is scheduled with our team to understand your goals. Perhaps you want to contribute to an environmental protection project, work with children, or get involved in a community development program?
Two students from the same school may therefore be guided toward different programs. Our objective is to ensure that the experience you have in the field is consistent with what drives and inspires you.
Our teams go on-site to carry out audits, understand the reality on the ground, and ensure the impact and safety of the missions offered. This project selection guarantees that the missions address a real local need.
We maintain close and long-term collaboration with our local partners. The missions first respond to the needs of local communities, and then also to the expectations of volunteers. You are guaranteed to contribute to meaningful initiatives, rooted in local realities and designed to have a lasting impact.
Freepackers regularly travels to the field to evaluate projects. These visits allow us to gain a deep understanding of the missions, the local culture, and the challenges faced by our partners. This immersion gives us the ability to select reliable, well-organized projects with strong impact potential.
Thanks to this in-depth knowledge of the programs, Freepackers is able to offer the most suitable project for each participant profile—projects that truly make a difference for local communities.
Our goal is to guide you in choosing the program that best combines all these criteria.
In short, the volunteer selection process allows for:
