This program offers you a unique opportunity to contribute to animal welfare and social causes in Malta. It enables you to combine social commitment with English-speaking practice and provides the chance to explore Malta with its warm hospitality and beauty. You will work with a local NGO from one of three categories: Charity and Community Service, Charity Shops/Thrift Stores, or an Animal Shelter. Just let us know which category resonates with you the most! The community service involves a wide range of potential activities, such as working at food banks, supporting shelters for homeless individuals, or organizing small events. At the charity shops, you might encounter tasks such as sorting through donations, assisting customers, managing inventory, or displaying products. Finally, at the animal shelter, the work encompasses feeding, cleaning, exercising animals, and more. You may also help with administrative tasks, fundraising, or event planning. In Malta, you can organize your accommodation, or we can do it for you. You can also combine your volunteering with English lessons. This way, we offer you the flexibility to customize your stay to your exact needs.

Do you want to be part of an international crew aboard and help with data collection underwater? We will teach you the necessary skillset for habitat mapping, species Identification and mapping of their distribution, and spotting Marine Megafauna, such as dolphins, whales, and turtles. As a volunteer aboard, you will be a part of the research team, which means snorkeling, measuring seagrass meadows, looking for species, taking pictures and videos of all the different organisms you see, and learning to identify them! While sailing, you will also be standing watches—spotting whales and dolphins and trying to take the best possible pictures of them for Photo Identification with our partner organizations. You will be living aboard a 21m sailing boat with up to 9 more people, giving everyone enough space to find a quiet corner when needed but also enough social areas to live and work together. During your stay, we generally move every other day for a 4-5 hour sail to the next location, which gives us enough time to map and check the underwater world in each location properly and have a look onshore as well if wanted.
