Volunteer Vacations: Restore Your Soul and Your World

Whether you dream of forging rugged mountain trails or building sea turtle nurseries in a warm tropical setting, you can make your next trip more fulfilling by going on a volunteer vacation.

Interact with a new culture while you help preserve it. Global Aware develops short-term volunteer programs to promote cultural awareness and sustainability in 15 different countries. The diverse programs offered include teaching English to children in Thailand, cleaning rivers in Jamaica, and building homes in Romania. Find out more at GlobeAware.org

Make a difference with critical environmental issues – biodiversity, coral reef health, indigenous cultures, sustainability, habitat loss, and climate change – when you participate in an Earthwatch program. Earthwatch actively works with people worldwide to maintain environmental sustainability through research, education programs, and conservation projects. Visit Earthwatch.org to learn more.

Protect and enjoy nature when you take a backpacking trip with the American Hiking Society. Volunteering with the Hiking Society offers infinite opportunities for people to appreciate the wilderness, renew themselves, and establish a lifetime of fitness, while preserving trails for future generations.
