2. Volunteer Application
Welcome to the Lang.Stay Project! We're thrilled that you're interested in joining our diverse community. Before applying, we encourage you to review our project goals, guidelines, and policies to fully understand what we're about and how you can contribute. Below is an introduction to our two volunteer options: Regular Volunteer and Provisional Volunteer.
Which Pathway is Right for You?
Regular Volunteer:
If you prefer a more standard application and review process, this pathway ensures you are fully assessed and onboarded before starting.
Provisional Volunteer:
If you're ready to dive in right away and comfortable with a trial period, this option allows you to start almost immediately. You can quickly transition to Regular Volunteer after the trial.
I. Regular Volunteer Pathway
For those who prefer a more structured process, the Regular Volunteer pathway is ideal. This option involves a thorough review of your application, and you will be accepted directly as a Regular Volunteer without the need for a trial period. The process typically takes 7–10 days from application to start.
Process Overview:
-
Review & Shortlisting:
We will review and shortlist applications within 3–5 days.
Video Call (if needed):
If necessary, we’ll schedule a video call within 1–3 days to discuss your application further.
Final Decision: A final decision will be made within 1–2 days after the review or video call.
Welcome & Onboarding:
Once accepted, you will receive a welcome package and be ready to start within 7–10 days of submitting your application.
Extensions:
You can extend your stay in two-week increments, depending on mutual agreement.
Who Should Apply?

Those who are comfortable with a slightly longer application process and who want to ensure a full assessment before starting.
