What makes us different?

Gold Standard of Support

Volunteer with total peace of mind. Our award-winning safety measures go beyond reacting to issues. We proactively assess risks, train expert staff, thoroughly vet accommodation, and even have an in-house medical advisor. We leave nothing to chance.

How we keep you safe

Hassle-free Approach

We take care of everything, so you don’t have to. Shopping around for insurance, organizing airport pickups, and finding safe, clean accommodation all takes time and extra money. We take care of it all for you, and it’s included in the price as standard.

Our hassle-free approach

Make a Real Impact

This isn’t just a vacation and we don’t want to waste your time. That’s why we invest in planning, measurement tools, and training resources. This means any project you choose is meaningful and creates real, positive change where it’s needed the most.

How you make an impact

Can’t find what you’re looking for?
