The safety and security of all our volunteers is of utmost importance. All Access Volunteers includes travel insurance with all of our volunteer programs. We do this by offering an International Volunteer Card to every AAV volunteer.

As a volunteer you will automatically be enrolled in the “Basic Travel Insurance Plan”, valid for trips up to 60 days. For long term volunteers, we recommend the “Premium Travel Insurance Plan”, valid for up to 180 days and includes upgraded services and added bonuses. This upgraded plan is at a cost of $45 extra. Your coverage will begin the moment you receive an email confirming your enrolment in the plan.

All volunteers will receive their IVC approximately 2 weeks prior to their scheduled departure date.
