Join the world’s first international volunteer farming organization for indigenous peoples.
For you, being a global citizen is about way more than rounding up your big-box purchase to donate to a charity with hopes that they’ll use your money wisely.
And traveling is more than just staying in swanky hotels, embarking on cookie-cutter excursions and snapping selfies in front of tourist attractions.
Our volunteers love that our programs are the perfect blend of sustainable farming education and play!
We work alongside farmers in Tanzania, Haiti and Panama. While volunteering, you’ll learn sustainable farming practices passed down directly from our ancestors that you can use to start your own farm or garden in your local community.
Our programs give you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to deepen your connection with the land while tapping into your ancestral roots.
As you work with our local partners, you’ll learn how to farm as our forefathers did and develop sustainable building skills so you can impact change in your local community and beyond.
The sustainable farming and building practices you learn on your volunteer farming trip allow you to make a difference anywhere, whether you’re halfway across the world or in your own backyard.
Many of our volunteers return home energized and equipped to bring sustainable farming to their home communities via micro gardens, community co-op farms and more.
Ready to tap into your ancestral roots and deepen your connection to the land … all while changing the world for the better?

Unlike other programs, our volunteer farming programs are run by the local BIPOC population. While other companies often do not pay native farmers for educating and housing volunteers, Nef International compensates the locals for the time, expertise and hospitality that they provide us with.
We love partnering with organizations! If you come through an organization, we’re happy to offer you a discount.
Although our main priority is farming, we do take our volunteers out for fun adventures including safaris, boat rides and other ecotourism trips.
Yes, we offer extended volunteer farming trips with additional excursions. Check out our Locations page to see the basic and extended itineraries for our upcoming trips.
