Our volunteer programs are designed to connect travelers/volunteers with local people and places for an authentic experience with a focus on sustainable community-based development. Members of the community participate in the project and work together with the volunteers.
Programs begin on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. Volunteers choose when they want to volunteer work and for how long. We personalize each program to suit the volunteer’s skills and preferences, regardless if the volunteer is traveling solo, with a family, or in a group on a spring break, gap year or medical mission.
