Before you make the commitment to help others, i-to-i recommends asking the following questions:

• How long has the volunteer organization been around?
• Is the staff knowledgeable and able to help you select a suitable trip?
• Do they provide pre-departure advice about visas, inoculations and insurance?
• Will you have an orientation once you land at your destination?
• Do they have support people within the country for daily questions?
• What emergency measures are in place should anything unforeseen happen?
• Does the fee include food, accommodation and airport pickup?
• Can you speak to past volunteers?
• Can a friend or partner come with you? If so, are there discounts?
