Yes, it is!

Housing is arranged for you and is covered by your program fee. Depending on which country and city you’re volunteering in, you will live with a host family, in a dorm at the school, or in apartments with your ILP group.

Three meals per day are also covered by your program fee. You’ll be eating what the locals are eating, which helps volunteers get a front-row seat to the local culture. You may be eating at the school cafeteria, your host family may cook for you, or you might receive a stipend for groceries so you can prepare your own meals. It all depends on what works best for where you are volunteering. On vacation days and weekends adjacent to vacation days, volunteers are responsible for their own meals which typically means trying new foods and restaurants in the city’s you’re exploring on your vacation.
