FEES
As we are a small, independent community organization, we do not receive financial support from the government or international donors. Therefore, a volunteer contribution fee is required to help sustain our programs and community projects.
The fee covers the costs of classroom materials, local teacher support, and program maintenance. Your contribution directly supports our students and helps us continue providing free English education to the youth of Luang Prabang. You can join us for any duration, from one week up to 12 weeks, and make a real impact!
If you would like to arrange your own arrival and departure dates, feel free to contact us at info@roots-leavesvolunteer.org

Orientation
We offer comprehensive orientation services to ensure volunteers feel prepared and comfortable during their stay. These include arranging accommodation, conducting orientation sessions and induction weekends, providing welcome packs, organizing social activities, and supplying basic necessities such as drinking water and toilet paper. Airport pick-up and drop-off services are also available to make your arrival and departure smooth and stress-free.

Accommodation, Food & Transportation
Your contribution helps cover the cost of volunteer housing, daily meals, contributions to host families, and utilities such as electricity, water, and local taxes. Each project location has a dedicated local coordinator who prepares the accommodation, welcomes and supports volunteers, ensures the smooth running of programs, and provides 24/7 emergency assistance
