To anyone still hanging on to their application form… don’t delay!
Please note that the final date for this season’s volunteer applications is February 20th. Full details of our 6-week and Operations team placements can be found here…
The deadline for this season’s 2-week volunteer projects is 31st January. If you would like to join us for a short-term placement this summer, please get in touch by then. Recruitment for other placements with the teams will continue into February.

It may not seem like it in Iceland (or elsewhere) right now, but the summer is not so far away. We will be back at the Langidalur base camp within about three months, making preparations ahead of the arrival of the first volunteer teams in May.
January is normally our biggest recruitment month, but this season we have been overwhelmed by the response to our programme dates that were published just before Christmas. We have been very busy with enquiries, applications and Skype interviews which means the teams are quickly filling up and it is likely that most of the places will be allocated within the next few weeks.
As things are moving faster than we planned (and faster than in previous seasons), we wanted to suggest a date so that applicants did not miss their chance. If you would like to join us this summer, we recommend that you complete the online application before 31st January so that we can include you in our last big application review day for 2015. Later applications will be considered for any remaining or last minute places that become available up until 15th March.
So don’t delay… get in touch!

Thank you to all for a wonderful year. We would like to wish all our volunteers, friends and supporters, a very Happy Christmas!
We are delighted to announce the publication of our volunteer programme dates for summer 2015.
Our 6-week placements are once again a central part of our programme and following the success of last season, there will be a series of 2-week placements available as well and short-term placements will join the ongoing projects throughout the summer. This season Operations team places will be for 7 or 9 weeks to provide additional support early and late in the season. Once again, there is no participation fee for any of the placements.
