Details
Travel
Our staff will pick you up from WAW - Warsaw Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland which is located just over an hour away from our property. Teachers may choose to self-pay to cover flight costs or they may raise additional support to cover these costs.
Visa
In Poland it is not necessary to obtain a visa for visits to Poland that are less than 90 days. Only a valid US Passport is needed (Valid 3 months after the date of your return). Volunteers who plan to stay in Poland for longer than 90 days will need to apply for a Temporary Residency Permit after arrival in Poland.
Food
Lunch is provided Monday-Friday by our kitchen staff. You will have access to a shared, community kitchen to prepare all other meals.
Housing
Volunteers will stay in high-quality dormitory-style housing on the Word of Life Poland property with Wi-Fi and heating. We also have apartment-style housing with a private bathroom available on property for married couples or individuals who desire more privacy, depending on current room availability and ministry needs.
Transportation
WOL will provide transportation to/from the airport, to the grocery store, and to church. Only WOL full-time staff may operate WOL vehicles, but volunteers may get an International Driver’s Permit (https://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html) and rent a vehicle in Poland if they would like. Poland’s public transportation system is very adequate, however, with buses and trams which are convenient to use for any personal travel needs as well.
