What are Group Workcamps?

For many Hongkongers, a two-week volunteering program isn’t always easy to fit in a busy schedule. VolTra collaborates with overseas partners to organize group workcamps lasting from a few days to two weeks. Through these group projects, we strive to support local communities through our volunteering programs.

In collaboration with various educational institutions, corporations and organizations, we organize group workcamps for students and corporate teams on a regular basis. Each workcamp consists of 10-20 volunteers from Hong Kong, alongside VolTra representatives. Not only can our volunteers interact with the members of the local community and experience a new culture, but they can also make meaningful contributions to the local communities they visit. 

Our Past Projects

CLAP@JC Sydney Study Tour
CLAP@JC Sydney Study Tour
2023(Year)7(month)
In collaboration with CLAP@JC, this project was tailor-made for social workers from Hong Kong to investigate youth development. They visited several non-governmental and community service organizations, where they had the chance to interact with industry professionals and service recipients. Not only did they gain a better understanding of the mental health services and community projects for young Sydneysiders, but they also developed closer bonds with each other through group activities. Now they have brought their inspiring stories back to their service units, enhancing the local development of youth services.
Global Collaboration in Mongolia
Global Collaboration in Mongolia
2023(Year)7(month)
Future leaders from the Education University of Hong Kong immersively experienced Mongolia's resilient culture through games with local children and interactions with educators. Despite limited resources, they realized they could lead a meaningful and fulfilling life. Having developed their adversity-facing skills in Mongolia, they have brought their fresh perspectives back home and are ready to make meaningful changes in Hong Kong's local communities and educational sector.
Global Classroom: Study Tour to Songhkla, Thailand
Global Classroom: Study Tour to Songhkla, Thailand
2024(Year)3(month)
For the first time ever, VolTra led a group of secondary school students to experience action learning in Songkhla Province in Thailand. Participants helped plant mangroves, took part in crab bank initiatives and visited conservation centers, learning more about ecological conservation. What's more important, this project integrates requirements of the school curriculum, which allowed students to combine travel with learning. This program offered students hands-on field conservation activities that integrate service learning, environmental protection and cultural exchange, all while fulfilling their academic goals.
Swire Coca-Cola Global Service Trip
Swire Coca-Cola Global Service Trip
2024(Year)11(month)
A group of Swire Coca-Cola volunteers from China, the US, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Cambodia joined hands in a global service trip in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This project has a lasting impact on the community - More classrooms were built for the Global Education Centre in Sway Thom Village. This expansion created more educational opportunities for local children, including language and skill development courses led by international volunteers. The group of volunteers also actively participated in environmentally sustainable projects, such as planting trees to enhance air quality in developing areas. Furthermore, through the Aqua Tower project - an initiative dedicated to providing clean water to residents - volunteers used interactive activities to teach primary school students healthy habits and raise overall hygiene awareness in the community.

My Icelandic Workcamp Experience
My Icelandic Workcamp Experience
By Workcamper Jordan Lau
"It was easy to get along with other participants in the workcamp. It definitely took a while to get used to the cold temperature and food here in the beginning. The kids were very smart and energetic! The work schedule was also super flexible; every day, we cooked breakfast before teaching classes, then we had lunch and went on local excursions, and in the evening we planned our lessons for the next day and finally had dinner. What I loved the most was the time spent with other fellow workcampers!"

What is VolTra?

Every March, VolTra announces all our workcamps for the upcoming year. If you plan to apply for our summer workcamps, it would be best to send your application by March or April. As for the fall and winter periods, please pay attention to the start date of the workcamps. We recommend you submit your application three months in advance (or even earlier if a travel visa is required). Our workcamps are open to applicants from all around the world on a first-come, first-served basis. The application results are usually released within 10-14 business days.

Places in our workcamps fill up fast, especially those in Europe. We will process them in order until a successful match is made, or until further notice. When selecting a workcamp, please take note of any special requirements, e.g., working knowledge of Japanese or Spanish, CV or photo requirements. We suggest only applying to programs that fully match your current qualifications. Since our workcamps are open to participants from all around the world on a first-come, first-served basis, we strongly recommend submitting your application to us at least three months before the start of your interested program.

  • In your acceptance letter, you will be able to find the name, reference number, time and location of your workcamp. From then, you should begin to arrange the following:
  • Flight tickets: You should purchase your flight tickets immediately after you have received your acceptance letter. Once your flights are confirmed, please submit your flight itinerary to us.
  • Travel insurance: You are strongly recommended to purchase travel and medical insurance before the start of your workcamp.
  • Visa documents: If you need to apply for a travel visa to your destination country, you should request official proof issued by your host organization for your visa application. Please be aware that your visa application may not necessarily be approved.
  • Vaccination: You are advised to consult a medical professional or the Travel Health Service provided by the Department of Health in Hong Kong to check whether mandatory vaccination is necessary for your travel destination.

In normal cases, you will receive an information leaflet about your workcamp 3-4 weeks in advance. It will include your work schedule, meet-up location and time, transportation, accommodation, required materials, emergency contact, etc.
