Voluntourism Events
What is voluntourism? It is a trend revolutionizing the way people travel. Simply put, voluntourism invites visitors to contribute to the betterment of their travel destination. Creek cleanups and trail maintenance outings are typical voluntourism activities.
Travel trends show visitors seek a sense of “temporary localhood,” experiencing their destination as a local person does while offsetting any possible negative impact from their visit. Voluntourism meets these desires perfectly.
We embrace voluntourism as dovetailing with our drive to attract travelers who respect our environment and lifestyle. We also value giving visitors and residents an opportunity to make person-to-person contact, which is what travel - and living - is all about.
Any of these organizations are always looking for volunteers.
