How Beeber Global works
For an annual registration fee, hosts can sign up with Beeber Global to create a listing (a
"Listing")
that details the kind of cultural exchange and assistance required. When a Host is registered,
Volunteers are able to contact the host through the Site.
Despite the fact that Listings may be read without registering, Hosts and Volunteers need to
register
and set up accounts in order to communicate with one another.
For the specified registration fee, Volunteers can sign up for a one-year registration that
allows them
to:
• Creating a profile, uploading photos, reading feedback, providing feedback;
• Contacting Hosts;
• Be contacted by Hosts;
• Interact with other Volunteers;
• Contact Volunteers regarding feedback;
• Access to human help-desk support in between hours of 9 AM-6 PM (including active
advice on
developing a
profile, travel-related information and advice, and problem-solving);
• Access to a 24/7 emergency support system that prioritizes assistance;
• A personal reference letter from our team (after two successful exchanges have
taken place and
feedback
has been left);
The 9 hour human help-desk support and emergency 24/7 support system do not constitute a
guarantee that
your problem will be solved, but only a commitment from Beeber Global to try to provide you with
helpful
information.
