Our Volunteers

Our volunteers are people of all ages, from age 8 (in families), through 16 (in youth groups) to seniors in their 70s joining us as teachers, staff, and on medical placemenst. They are from many countries, and a range of backgrounds, all sharing a common desire: to know more about the world, and to make a difference with a volunteering company that also wants to make a difference through high quality, well supported, well managed projects, with staff on the ground 24/7 supporting them.

All of our projects are our own. They have been created by invitation with local partner organisations. We don’t sell them through resellers, and as our reviews show, this gives you the confidence to know that we are with you from the time of your first enquiry until you return home after an incredible experience volunteering.

We offer a wide range of projects that are designed to ensure that you are able to have a positive impact on the people you volunteer with, whilst your experience impacts positively on you. The project design brings together opportunities for you to immerse yourself in another culture and country, which we achieve through our close working relationships with our partner organisations, bringing out the best in you, developing and building new skills, and strengths, as well as personal learning and growth through the project, the people you meet with on the projects, and sight seeing. It is amazing what our volunteers say has impacted them.

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
