Verification and Accreditation: We carefully select opportunities to ensure they are reliable and high quality. While we don’t provide accreditation, we work with trusted organizations and institutions. For programs involving individual hosts, we recommend reviewing the provided safety guidelines.
Protecting Your Privacy and Online Security: When exploring online opportunities, it’s crucial to protect your personal information. At OFY, your online safety is a priority—we don’t collect personal data or use cookies. Be mindful not to share sensitive details online and always follow the safety guidelines provided by our programs to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.
Prioritizing Your Health: Make research on essential health and medical tips to help you prepare for your opportunity. Learn about vaccination requirements, travel insurance options, and potential health risks related to specific locations or activities.
Emergency Support: Unexpected situations can happen. In an emergency, contact local authorities, embassies, or relevant organizations for immediate help. Stay informed about local emergency services and procedures. Also, check if the programs we list offer emergency support or guidelines.
Navigating Visa Requirements: When exploring international opportunities, it's necessary to understand the visa requirements for your destination. Visa regulations vary by country and the purpose of your visit. We recommend researching the specific visa processes, documentation, application steps, and any restrictions that apply to your situation.
Responsible Participation: When exploring the opportunities we offer, it's important to make responsible decisions—not only for your own well-being but also for the places you visit.
