About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Worldwide Friends (WF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 with the mission to promote nature conservation, intercultural understanding, and peace through volunteer activities in Iceland. In 2026, our focus will be on climate action, community resilience, and sustainable lifestyles â empowering participants to take meaningful action in their daily lives and local communities. WF organizes a variety of programs, including international workcamps, seminars, local community projects, and exchange programs, open to both young people and adults who wish to make a positive impact while experiencing Iceland's unique culture and natural beauty.

💼 What the programme involves

This camp has a variety of environmental protection activities. The main activity in Siglufjörður and ílafsfjörður is forestry and community environmental care, with seasonal variations. Participants help take care of a manmade forest, working to improve and maintain the area, and also assist with beach cleaning activities during certain months. Most activities are outdoors and can vary depending on the season and weather. Typical Tasks Include: Forestry and Environmental Work: - Replanting trees, bushes, and flowers - Moving plants to more suitable locations - Planting new vegetation - Repairing or setting up fences - Cutting branches, trimming or removing dead trees - Mowing grass, collecting debris, and maintaining walking paths Beach Cleaning & Community work (April–June): - Collecting litter and debris along the coastline - Removing waste that affects wildlife and the natural environment - Raising awareness about environmental care in local communities - Community Projects: Assisting with small renovation projects, such as helping with the local church or cleaning community spaces Our work will depend on weather conditions, which is why we must be flexible. Working hours are about 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. You should be prepared for unfriendly weather, as they say: if you don't like the Icelandic weather, just wait 5 minutes and it might change.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be staying in the house of Worldwide Friends. The house is approximately 300 m² and has 2 big dormitory rooms for 8 people each, 2 quad rooms (bunk beds), a fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms, and common areas. House capacity - 22. Wireless internet access is provided free of charge. Access to a washing machine. Food is included for the entire duration of the work camp; however, everyone is expected to do their fair share of cooking and cleaning. Since it’s always fun to try new and different dishes, Volunteers are encouraged to bring their favorite recipes from home! We also invite everyone to try vegetarian food during their stay with us. We provide a well-balanced and healthy variety of ingredients, including whole grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, and vegetarian/vegan options. To help reduce our carbon footprint, we limit meat consumption and promote sustainable, plant-based meals. We do not provide soft drinks or candies, but we do offer plenty of ingredients for baking delicious snacks. As we bake our own bread, feel free to bring your favorite golden-crust recipe from home! Please inform us in advance if you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, so we can accommodate you properly!

📍 About the location

Siglufjörður is a town of about 1,300 people, located in North Iceland. It is the northernmost town of the mainland. 5 hours drive from Reykjavik. It is an area of spectacular natural beauty. The mountains and the fjords are awe-inspiring and the opportunities for outdoor activities and recreation are almost inexhaustible. We will also concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. We invite volunteers from all over the world to present their country of origin and culture in an informal way. It can be a presentation, a game, theatre – the form of introduction is up to you! Therefore, we encourage you to bring along some food, photos, or anything interesting related to your country for a fun and informative evening amongst other volunteers. This workcamp allows you to spend an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge while exploring creativity, environmental issues, and intercultural learning. Nature is always within reach here â go hiking, play golf, try ocean swimming, or even skiing. Remember to plan your hikes safely, respect nature, stay on marked trails, properly dispose of waste, leave areas as you found them, and do not approach or feed wildlife. Never climb high and steep mountains without a professional guide. WF Iceland organizes affordable weekend and one-day excursions to Iceland's most stunning natural sites â including waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, lava fields, hot springs, and more. Explore available trips at: wf.is/excursions (A minimum number of participants is required to run excursions.)
