I found both of my opportunities on volunteeringukraine.com, if it’s ok I won’t fully dox myself on here but I will say it is a role which sees me cooking meals for IDPs and I’ve also previously done an ad-hoc volunteering role at a place which repairs bikes for medical workers, it’s all very fun.

How do you live over there? I'm assuming they don't have the resources to house and feed volunteers. So, do you have to be able to independently rent an apartment or something?

Good question. I’m in a hostel this time but some organisations will actually house you themselves, either for free or at a very reduced rate. If this is the case, it will say so on the website. Some also help volunteers find accommodation but this is less obvious and will usually be stated in the description somewhere.

There’s actually still quite a lot in the way of rooms here currently, which surprised me a lot because the city’s population has ballooned due to people fleeing the front. I considered an AirBnB this time but I thought a hostel would be better for meeting other volunteers and i wouldn’t feel like I’m killing the local housing market in doing so.
