They train their team members to understand how attitude has a huge impact on project success. No previous conservation experience is required. They provide all the necessary training to be part of their highly successful work. You need to be willing to challenge yourself, learn to work hard, and want to be the best you can be.

âď¸Festival Stewarding And Campaigning For Oxfam
UK > In 2025, stewarding for Oxfam was available across 36 weekend festivals and day shows. Festival stewards carry out a range of important roles to make sure the festival runs smoothly. You could be checking tickets at the gate, patrolling the campsites and arena, or staffing the accessibility platforms. Stewarding positions are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Starting alphabetically, weâd got all the way up to A when we discovered - yes! I mean, oh no! - Colette Burgess has already done one for her blog, Weâre Going On An Adventure. Her guide links to 90 festivals, from ALSO to Y Not?

âď¸Work At ASIJâs Summer Day Camp
JAPAN > Planning to be in Tokyo this summer? Happy to make a fool of yourself in front of children? Willing to work hard in the relentless heat and humidity? If you answered âYesâ to all three, then applying for a job at ASIJâs Summer Day Camp may be for you.
Summer Day Camp employs over 300 young people and adults from a variety of nationalities and backgrounds each summer. A college degree and relevant teaching experience are required of English teachers and lead specialists, but if you are at least 15 years old as of March 31 and have completed ninth grade by July, you can still be a candidate for SDC.

âď¸How Good Are The Chances Of An Asian Person Getting A TEFL Job?
ASIA > An Asian individual considering getting a B.Ed and a TEFL certificate, who wanted to work as an English teacher in Thailand, China, Japan, Korea or other Asian countries, perhaps even western non English speaking countries, recently dropped by Reddit to ask for advice. They were aware native English speakers are favoured for these types of jobs and wanted to know whether they should pursue this career or find something else to do?
Filipina travel blogger Trisha Velarmino has written that she grew up believing that every school in the world instructs in English and, despite believing a case could be made that the Philippines should be included in the official list of native English speaking countries, she found that ânative English speakerâ usually means white.
However, worried she might have discouraged Asians in pursuing English teaching as a means of financing their travels, she followed up with reasons why they should still go for it. Both posts are now gone in a site reorganisation, but Kach Umandupâs A Filipino Guide to TEFL covers the topic.

UK > Millions of young people risk missing out on new treatments for health conditions and having to use medicines that are unsafe, ineffective or inappropriate because so few take part in medical research. Gulliver Waite, who signed up for a clinical trial after antidepressants and talking therapies failed to alleviate clinical depression, credits a study with transforming his life, while Rich Pelley hopes his tales of pills, tubes and paydays can inspire a generation to get involved.
âď¸Communications Officer

âď¸Help With Gardening And DIY Projects On A Farm Near Lanchkhuti
GEORGIA > We found this Workaway through the writing of Scott and Mary, who shared their two weeks in a warm, humid climate with a friendly Georgian family in their newsletter.

AUSTRALIA > Last month, we were introduced to Fialka, who tried to ruin volunteering for us. Now sheâs at it with Australia, sharing her account of time spent on a working holiday visa in Australia in hard mode.
Young Brits moving to Australia on a working holiday visa are also finding out it isnât quite what they expected, reports The Telegraph. Middle aged people, including Chris P Bacon, share their own opinions on The Telegraphâs Facebook page.
âď¸Horsey Helpers
BULGARIA > Stan Johnstone, who has helped Lucy Irvine with her LIFE in Bulgaria, recently suggested his Stanpede Horse Rescue to a volunteer looking to work with horses. (Back in October, Lucy and Stan were heading to the local bazar to gather evidence of unlawful activities involving horses, and while JAB hasnât found any there, we have found some in neighbouring Romania).

âď¸Peru Digital Nomad Guide
PERU > Our first experiences as digital nomads were set in Peru. That was quite some time ago, so weâre sure one of our readers, Millie Austin, who lives there now, didnât struggle with TCP/IP protocols in an internet cafe with Spiderman on loop in the background when she put together her guide to working in Peru as a digital nomad.
âď¸Volunteer For Ocean Conservation
WORLDWIDE > By volunteering with the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, you join a worldwide movement committed to the health and longevity of our oceans.

âď¸Help The Animals At Mazatlan Animal Rescue
MEXICO > Jim and Chris, Canadian empty nesters of five kids, say they are too old for hostels, but theyâre not too old to pitch in and help the animals at Mazatlan Animal Rescue, as they show in this video.
âď¸Solarpunk Utopian Baby Chick Sitting
MEXICO > A prospective solarpunk utopia is looking for people interested in participating in art, country life, farm work, and animal care. Daily tasks include babysitting baby chicks (private group).
âď¸Ticket Selling Jobs In Ibiza Advice
SPAIN > Googleâs tame AI says a ticket selling job in Ibiza is a high energy, commission based summer role involving face to face promotion of boat parties, club nights, and excursions to tourists. It requires an outgoing personality, confidence to approach strangers, and provides flexible hours, with potential earnings exceeding âŹ100 daily.
VivaIbiza, however, who once ran teams of ticket sellers, says to âfuck off the ticket selling jobâ and find a legal position if you are an EU passport holder. The lack of Brits competing for jobs means more work for everyone else. Finding work will be easy. Accommodation is the hard bit.
Brits, unable to work legally in Spain, resort to ticket selling. But one drawback for under the table workers unable to stay in the Schengen area for more than 90 days is that they either head out early to Ibiza to secure a job and miss the peak period, or go for the peak period but are unable to get a job.
And, in more good news, doing so on a commission basis is a waste of time as purchasing online is the preferred option for most visitors to the island. No one buys tickets on the street from randoms these days. This last bit of advice we saw offered to someone heading to San Antonio whoâd heard a lot of stories about people coming for a job like this reduced to selling drugs. Americans wanting to work as either a shot girl or a gogo dancer at a club for one month luck out (in the British sense), too.
âď¸Scott Base Is Calling
NEW ZEALAND & ANTARCTICA > Antarctica New Zealand is the Crown Entity that manages Scott Base, New Zealandâs research station in Antarctica. Theyâre hiring now to fill their roles for the 2026/27 season. Positions include chefs, carpenters, electricians, field support. Applications are open until the middle of the month.

âď¸Street Food Festival Tour
UK > Managers, chef crew, and till wizards are wanted for a summer on the road touring the UKâs biggest music festivals with their travelling food hall of six street food brands. You must have worked on food units at speed and volume before.
âď¸The Great British Food Festival
UK > Friendly, enthusiastic, problem solving and responsible stewards are wanted for summer food festivals held around the country. Roles include cooking, greeting, maintaining, and behind baring, . Event dates are given on the careers page linked to above, but this graphic does a better job of spelling out their locations.
âď¸Keep Calm And Volunteer
UK > Diverse UK is an independent charity that provides professionally staffed sensory calm spaces at festivals, live events, corporate events and conferences. Their teams include autistic and neurodivergent staff who use their lived experience. So far this year, they will be present at festivals in Bristol and London.
âď¸Qualified Therapists Wanted For Festivals
UK > Blink provides wellbeing support at several UK festivals, recruiting for two volunteer roles. The application deadline for well being support volunteers has closed, but qualified therapists have up to March 13.
âď¸Enjoy The UKâs Biggest Music Festivals For Less Cash Than A Trip To The Cinema
UK > There is a ÂŁ10/15 admin fee per event, hence the title of this post, for what Festaff, a business making its money supplying staff to festivals, say is light and rewarding customer facing stewarding roles. Their most common positions include gate stewarding, area stewarding and FOH bar assistant (stewarding pints across the counter?).
Most of the events staffed by Festaff volunteers require two eight hour shifts. Some, such as Creamfields, require three shifts. There is no drinking on shift. Three days at Creamfields, including camping, is ÂŁ270 plus a ÂŁ20 booking fee. Working 24 hours at minimum wage equals ÂŁ305.04, meaning a volunteer would be up ÂŁ10.04 - before paying the ÂŁ15 bloody admin fee - if they didnât volunteer, and they can get as drunk as they like.
âď¸Kitchen Hands
NEW ZEALAND > First Mates, Last Laugh, centrally located on Westhaven Marina, overlooking the yachts and Auckland city, wants kitchen hands for an immediate start.
