Welcome to UNA Exchange

Through a range of volunteering in Wales and the world, UNA Exchange promotes and supports international understanding, cultural exchange and community development whilst at the same time enabling volunteers’ personal growth & development. UNA Exchange volunteers always work in partnership with local community groups.

New Projects in 2010

The 2010 volunteering season is almost upon us (officially starts in March!) and we've started receiving some projects descriptions early. So far in 2010 we've uploaded projects in Korea (over 1 month long), Thailand, Japan and Vietnam. We'll hopefully be uploading some more short term projects available in Indonesia and Zambia next week so keep checking the website! If you have any questions about volunteering abroad then why not get in contact with Owain.

Medium / Long Term Volunteering (MLTV) Projects

Are you looking to go away for longer than two or three weeks? How about a project that lasts 3, 6 or even 12 months? Well we'll definatetely be able to help you! There are two ways of finding MLTV projects, the first if by ticking the 'Projects over 1 month' box in out searchable database of projects . The other way of finding MLTV projects is by surfing over to our Medium / Long Term Volunteering page. The projects on that page are more flexible (and therefore can't be put into our database) so it's generally up to you when you want to start and how long you'd like to stay for. As always if you have any queries about projects abroad then contact Owain.

North South Pre Departure Training Weekends in 2010 Set!

The dates for the 2010 North South (NS) pre departure training weekends have now been set. We ask that all volunteer wishing to go on a NS project attend these weekends before they go as conditions on these projects can be very challenging. More information about the NS weekends can be found here .

Winter Projects in Wales in 2010

The winter projects will soon be starting. There will be seven environmental projects in south and west Wales, lasting from two weeks to four months! One project in February will be hosted by Denmark Farm and Cors Caron nature reserve in Ceredigion and the others will be be based in Carmarthenshire. Click here for details about the projects. We also have a weekend project in March at Afan Forest. Click here for details about the weekend project. If you have any questions then contact Vicky.

Leaders' Training 2010

Would you like to have a fun and memorable summer leading an International Volunteer Project (IVP) in Wales? If so, Leaders' Training 2010 might be for you! Held over Easter weekend 1st - 5th April, Leaders' Training gives volunteers the chance to develop their skills to go on to successfully lead IVPs in Wales. Click here for more information about this fantastic opportunity. An application form can be found here. Contact Vicky if you have any questions.

Confused about Cost / How to apply / When you pay?

We've also updated our Costs and How to Apply section to try and avoid any confusion about the costs, when you pay for your project and how to actually go about applying for your project. There's an updated section on refunds (and when they apply) as well as an updated step by step guide on how to apply online. We recommend that you read over it before applying for a project as it contains all the information you'll need!
