WildLife Conservation
Help care and protect Croatia's brown bears!
Croatia's much beloved brown bears are under threat from hunting and increasing human occupation of their natural habitat. Here is your chance to volunteer and provide refuge for endangered brown bears in a relatively natural setting. Primary tasks vary and can include building and maintaining animal enclosures, fence building, vegetation removal, tree planting, surveying, and animal husbandry (daily care for animals). All of these tasks are directly related to the establishment or maintenance of the sanctuary and the promotion of animal conservation.
Community Development
Build schools and parks for children in Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Helping to build a school for young children or a public recreation area for a whole community has lasting benefits for future generations all across Eastern Europe. The goal is to create areas where children have an opportunity to participate in learning and to provide communities with areas where they can come together to celebrate. Roll up your sleeves and be prepared for some light construction work, to meet the community and share in village life.
Children's Programs
Teach and inspire children in Romania and Croatia.
Assist at educational summer camps, community centers and orphanages which focus on the education and personal development of children and youth. Many children come from underprivileged families, or have no families at all, and are in need of care and companionship. The goal is to promote active participation, cultural awareness and respect. You may find yourself assisting in an art class, organizing sporting games or rehearsing a play.
Environmental Management
Help preserve unique landscapes in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
ISV is dedicated to assisting with several community heritage and habitat restoration projects throughout this region. Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to volunteer amongst one of Eastern Europe's most breathtaking landscapes where you might find yourself building trails through natural forests, restoring an ancient castle, or helping to extend the playground at a local school! The goal of these projects is to support the communitiesí efforts to maintain the integrity of their natural environments while promoting responsible tourism.
