Volunteer Program Fees

Meaningful & Affordable Volunteering in Ghana, Thailand & Cambodia

Atlas Volunteers’ offer low cost and meaningful programs all whilst providing an award winning level of support. Our program fees are lowest in Ghana as we focus on running as a truly grassroots organisation on the ground.

Volunteers pay a one-off Registration Fee to join their chosen volunteer program. This covers all your pre-departure support, handbook and any pre-arrival queries you may have.

The program fees always cover the core of your program such as accommodation. Most of our programs operate on a sliding scale, so the longer you stay – the cheaper the weekly fee becomes.

From empty sand to a home full of nests.🐢🌊 When we started, we were just refilling sand and protecting a small area. Today, this same space is alive with sea turtle nests that will begin hatching in the coming weeks. Every night we patrol the beach to locate and relocate threatened sea turtle nests to our hatchery, giving them a real chance of survival. 🛡️🐢 Every small effort builds a future!
