Start here

Check the organizer and role

Confirm the legal or institutional identity, named contact, activity description, dates, location, supervision, and who benefits. A social-media appeal without accountable contact details is not enough.

Assess the practicalities

Ask what travel, accommodation, food, equipment, training, insurance, and costs are provided or expected. For field, disaster, health, or child-facing work, confirm the safety plan and required qualifications.

  • Share your itinerary and emergency contact with someone you trust.
  • Do not accept hazardous duties outside your training.
  • Confirm safeguarding and complaint channels before child-facing work.

Protect dignity and consent

Service does not create permission to photograph or publish someone’s story. Ask before recording people, avoid collecting unnecessary personal data, and follow the organizer’s safeguarding and privacy rules.
