Expectations from Volunteers

We expect volunteers to actively participate in assigned tasks, follow instructions, and contribute to a positive and inclusive environment. They should demonstrate reliability, flexibility, and a willingness to learn.

What Volunteers Can Expect

Volunteers can expect a rewarding experience where they can make a meaningful impact. We provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, cultural exchange, and the chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Hutan Subur. Basic accommodations and meals are provided during the volunteer period.

Special Equipment for Volunteers

While basic equipment and supplies will be provided, volunteers are encouraged to bring personal items such as comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, and toiletries. Any specific requirements will be communicated prior to their arrival.

Specific tasks

One of the main tasks at the guest house for our coordinator will be to educate and support our staff to provide high quality service at our guest house for both guests and volunteers.

Your education and support may include educating our staff on ways to provide a high quality of service to our guest and volunteers. The volunteer coordinator may support our staff in creating engaging timetables, maintaining a cleaning schedule ensuring that tasks around the guest house are completed and a high standard of guest service is maintained including cleanliness of the guest house and food preparation.

Our mission is to support development in North Sumatra by connecting dedicated volunteers with local community projects.

Our vision is for equal opportunities in North Sumatra for everyone to succeed and thrive.

Our goal at CareSumatra is to connect suitable community led projects with willing, capable volunteers in a way that benefits both parties. Together, we aim to offer life changing support to the children and adults at the community-led projects we partner, and also a life changing development opportunity for our selected volunteers.

Our ultimate objective, however, is to support our wide range of projects with suitable volunteers to help them improve the quality of people's lives in their local area.
