These reports, together with the information about our special project support for the destinations, form the basis for our impact reporting. You can see the difference already made by our past trip participants!

We make the group’s arrangements!
Group volunteering allows you to focus on the destination and the experience. We arrange your lodging, food, local transportation and activities. You can enjoy volunteering in a foreign country even if you are not fluent in the local language. We are committed to ensuring a cooperative and collaborative group where people of diverse ages, backgrounds, and interests come together so all your contributions will be appreciated and together we can make a difference that lasts.
Travel with like-minded people
We offer a welcoming and casual style of leading trips to special and very important destinations. We work hard to create an inclusive environment on each volunteer trip, and we aim to exceed expectations. Our volunteer travel groups include people with a wide range of ages and backgrounds, who share a common perspective of caring about the environment. This offers opportunities for unexpected and lasting connections. Many volunteers find themselves looking back on the spontaneous laughter, local food selections, and unique lodging experiences with fond memories that keep them smiling for years. In fact, many of our volunteers call for an encore and return to sign-up for a new destination!
