Jordan Program Details

Accommodation and Food

In Jordan you will stay with a local host family who will provide you with breakfast and dinner each day.  The family can help you pack lunch or you can buy something yourself near your volunteer site.

Insurance, Health and Safety

United Planet provides emergency medical insurance for all of its Short Term volunteers. You receive policy information by email prior to departure, and also the emergency number to call if you are treated for any medical issues.  Insurance also covers baggage loss up to $500 and trip interruption due to extraordinary circumstances.* Upon sign up you will also receive a full guide to health and safety in your country. We recommend booking a doctor’s appointment a few months out to update your vaccinations, etc. or visiting a travel health clinic. Your doctor can recommend the appropriate vaccinations and travel medicine. Please see the Health and Safety page for more information.

Transportation and Flights

Volunteers fly into Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordanand from there will be collected by a United Planet representative and taken to their host family. Transportation between your host family and work site are included.

Tips on how to find an inexpensive flight can be found in our Cost Savings 2010 guide.
