Ecoteer is a unique volunteer opportunities agency - offering a directory of cheap volunteer work opportunities, volunteer jobs abroad and working holidays. Our volunteer opportunities are cheap because we have eliminated the middleman slashing the price to volunteer abroad for gapyears, careerbreaks and working holidays. Ecoteer is leading the way in a new type of volunteer work opportunities abroad and is changing the volunteer and working holiday industry back to what it used to be – benefiting both the volunteer and the volunteer project.
"My volunteer work abroad was for only two months in August and September 2007. Although I feel this is a very limited time period, I think I have been able to do many things, which will not only affect me as a person, but also many Cameroonians and even more people at home in Finland, where I am from. Taking advantage of volunteer opportunities abroad has changed my life forever.
