Family volunteer opportunities

Looking for family volunteering opportunities? Our specially selected programs are perfect for those looking for a volunteer holiday abroad with their family.

Make your family vacation really count. No piano recitals, no football games, no staying late at the office. No schedules or distractions. Instead, invest in quality time, adventure, and meaningful work with your family. Volunteering abroad with your children, parents or siblings offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconnect with your loved ones in beautiful destinations across the world, while working on community development projects with sustainable long-term goals. Our projects are driven by a core mission: positive impact. GVI is committed to sustainable change alongside both our local project participants and our global partners.
