Participation fees
The actual costs of the whole project amount to over 500 euro per participant, however, we want to offer this value to you at an affordable price, which is why we only ask for a small contribution to these costs in the form of the participation fees.
IYNF follows a policy of fair prices, dividing Europe into five regions according to the different income levels. In addition, Students and Naturefriends (members of IYNF member or partner organisation) have a combinable discount and there is a special reduction rate for Registered IYNF Volunteers . You can find the price valid for you at the intersection of your region and your status at the table bellow.
For being a student and / or a member of IYNF we would need a proof by sending a copy of your student or membershipcard by fax, post or a scan per mail. If you would like to know if you are a registered IYNF volunteer or not, please send an email to martijn [@] iynf.org.

Discount system
We dont want money to be an obstacle for anyone to participate to our activities, on the other hand we want committed and motivated participants, who value the opportunity. Therefore, we employ the principle pay what you can, and a little bit more. If you are attracted by the proposed content of the activity and you would like to take part, but the participation fee or travel costs would be the obstacle for you to come, please feel welcome to contact the coordinator at iynf [@] iynf.org. IYNF has ways how to discount the fee for the participants to level affordable to everyone.
