We’ve supported hundreds of university groups to have meaningful travel volunteer experiences abroad. These groups have come from a wide range of schools – from the smallest community college to some of the biggest tertiary institutions in the USA.
Our dedicated team of group university volunteering experts has worked with universities to design student led experiences, alternative break trips, and faculty led service-learning itineraries that enable cross-cultural learning and help to develop important career competencies. Many of these have also resulted in students gaining university credit for their time volunteering abroad as a group.
Volunteering overseas is a life-changing experience that can benefit the volunteer as much as it does the cause. Volunteering can be a meaningful exchange where the volunteer contributes time and effort and shares knowledge, and in exchange learns new skills and gains an insight into diverse cultures.
As such, it’s a worthwhile experience to share with a group, whether it’s your own family, circle of childhood buddies looking to make a difference, team of socially conscious colleagues looking to bond over a new activity, or fellow members of the economics club at university who want to take their knowledge out of the classroom and put it to use in the real world.
Every member of the group brings a fresh perspective and different skill to the table, members learn from each other, and new friendships develop, resulting in a valuable overall contribution both to the cause and the dynamics of the group.
