TCT International Volunteer Program, Armenia 2026

I've had interest for the Transcaucasian Trail for a couple of years, which brought me to read about the international volunteer camps. In Fall 2025 I finally had the chance to take part in a 7-day camp in Lori North of Dilijan. The experience exceeded my expectations : we were really well taken cared of by the local crew, the work is well organized and balanced with leisured time and other activities. Above all, we had a lot of fun and lots of laughter all together, while we did a fair deal of work on the trail maintenance ! It is a great way to meet Armenian people and get to know better different aspects of the local culture. I can only recommend these camps to anyone looking for outdoor collective experiences to remember and meeting great people. I'll definitely return to repeat the experience in other regions and also take some more time to hike on the TCT !

I volunteered with TFC in Armenia in 2025. It was an absolute fantastic experience. The trailbuilding was interesting and fun. The feeling of community with the Armenian participiants was even better. Wonderful authentic human beings, hard working and still having so much fun together. I can totally recommend! The program covers transportation, accomodation, food and everything that is important. We even had a cultural day in Dilijan where we learned to dance and got to know the place better.

Volunteering with TFC Trails for Change was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The friends I made became like family, and they were constantly concerned for my comfort and excited to share their knowledge and expertise. The trails are breathtaking, the culture warm, and the organization was spot on. I would do it again ina heartbeat!
