Go further this Christmas

Christmas Volunteering

You spend time sharing good food and great laughs over the holidays. You make treasured memories with family and friends and dive into the carols and Christmas cheer. But you want others to have those same experiences and often wonder, “how can I give back over Christmas?” Join us for a bucket list adventure as you volunteer abroad over the Christmas break. 

Volunteering at Christmas doesn’t just give you an escape from jam packed malls and the chance to have adventures in destinations across the world. It also allows you to become a part of a greater cause – something bigger than yourself that fulfils your urge to help people over the holidays. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of Christmas volunteer opportunities available these days. You can contribute towards international sustainable development initiatives aimed at protecting and supporting our most underserved communities. You can teach, support women’s empowerment initiatives, assist with global public health programs, or join a variety of other community development projects. 

Our projects are driven by a core mission: positive impact. GVI is committed to sustainable, meaningful change alongside our local partners. With us, you’ll find volunteering at Christmas makes both a direct and indirect impact, meaning we believe in taking lasting action. Your adventure may unfold in a spectacular location abroad this Christmas, but the projects you contribute to are built to empower people long after you depart. This is how we’re supporting a sustainable future worth celebrating.

Give something back over the holidays and check out your options for volunteering at Christmas.
