Iceland is currently closed for volunteers
Iceland is currently unable to receive any volunteers, so please have a little more patience and hopefully we’ll be able to make your dream quest a reality soon!
Volunteers can help with farm work in Iceland, including feeding, cleaning, milking, and brushing various animals such as horses, sheep, cows, hens, goats, and dogs. In addition, volunteers will be asked to assist with general farming:maintenance, gardening, etc
Volunteers can work in a second-hand shop that supports a relief organization serving children in developing countries by providing educational opportunities, shelter, and other basic needs. Volunteers work directly with the organization to plan and prepare for their yearly fundraising events.
Volunteers work at a local preschool that emphasizes a holistic approach to learning. The main role of volunteers is taking care of the children! Tasks can range from feeding and changing the children, to teaching arts and crafts lessons, to attending educational field trips.
United Planet Quests are designed to be immersive, authentic, comprehensive and provide you everything you’ll need to succeed. The program elements allow you to engage fully with a new culture, forge strong relationships, and challenge yourself. Most importantly, we partner with the community to ensure your experience will be important, relevant and helpful to the community you serve.
Due to varying airline prices, United Planet does not arrange or cover the cost of flights to and from Iceland. However, we arrange all ground transportation to and from the airport in Iceland and will ensure that you arrive safely at orientation.

We want you to succeed. That means having in place the support our volunteers need. We don’t just drop you in country and hope for the best. We provide training before you leave … language exposure … 24/7 in-country support … support for your host family … accommodations, meals and airport transportation … activities and excursions. The whole idea is to make the experience successful and productive for you and the host community, and we have found that these things are crucial. Remember that we are a non-profit, mission-driven organization – we wouldn’t spend money on something that wasn’t important.
