Volunteer in Finland

United Planet’s Volunteer for 6-12 Months in Finland Experience a 6-12 months to volunteer in Finland, one of the largest countries in Europe. Finland has held a unique global position because of its borders with Russia, Norway, the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. Nearly one-third of the country lies above the Arctic Circle, with the coastal lowlands and central lake system making up the rest. Finland is lauded for one of the best public healthcare and education systems while many other public services (swimming halls, gyms, state-of-the-art libraries) are available to all at no or low-cost. Volunteers here find meaning through learning from Finland’s complex culture and sharing ideas. Volunteer projects include work in kindergarten and elementary schools, where they can practice their Finnish as well! There are also opportunities to volunteer for disabilities and to work doing practical work with a wide range of livestock, and sharing that learning experience with Finnish youth aged 9-17.
